OK, just to add my $.02 to this thread;
CF puts things into the undelivr folder if it can't get to the mail server,
so if the SMTP server was busy at the time CF tried to send it, then in it
goes
Try using one of the apps in the Developer's Exchange that move the mail
back to spool, this should solve most of your problems
We have the same problem when we're doing mass mailings, which is why we
break it into blocks of 1000 per "send", which usually takes a while to be
sent completely to the mail server, so you send the next block either an
hour or (if your server is faster at clearing the spool) 30 minutes
Takes a little extra coding, but solves a LOT of problems.
