FYI - we can start with finding the offending process which locks the
file, then go from there.

Thanks Casey
I use a program called Handleex to find and stop the process that is
holding the file, to prevent a reboot.

I would encourage *anyone* who is doing email application that need to
handle volume to upgrade to CFMX 6.1 Enterprise. This kind of use case is
specifically what we targeted the enhancements for.
As to the CF5 spool file locking problem, you can certainly fix this by
switching to a Unix based operating system. :-(
The problem is that windows will not let you move/delete a file being
touched by some other 'process'. Have you investigated if there is a
Windows patch that fixes problems with this kind of file locking happening
'randomly'? I can certainly believe there is a bug in the CF5 C++
implementation that would possibly not release a file handle properly, but
if it only happens every *month* or two, I am not sure how we could have
coded something so clever if we had wanted to....

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.
