Casey, I used to work for a company that sends approximately 1 billion (yes, billion) emails a month (and yes, they are spammers). The emails are created via a CF application run from the command line that spools the emails to a database. The outbound spooling is handled through a separate application on the mail servers that pulls the emails from the database and fires them out through Sendmail. We learned long ago about the spooling bug in CF5, and also that CF5 is not at all suited to operate as a high-volume mail server. If you continue to experience this bug, my advice to you is to implement a solution such as I have described. You don't have to use Sendmail. There are plenty of small, cheap (or free) mail servers available. My personal favorite is ArgoSoft Mail Server (http://www.argosoft.com). It supports SMTP, POP3 and IMAP, as well as having an API that you can access directly from CF.
