I'm working on a part of an application where I need to create a temporary Excel file and e-mail it to a specific user.

I've got that working, but since these are temporary files, I obviously don't want them cluttering up the server and taking up space.  I thought I could just delete the file after the <cfmail> tag, but it would appear that CF doesn't embed the file in the mail until it's spooled.  (I get a mail log error that the attachment file doesn't exist. Commenting out the file deletion allows the mail to be sent.)

I'm using <cfmailparam> to attach the file, rather than the mimeattach attribute.

Aside from using a scheduled task to periodically run through and delete all of the temporary files, is there another option I'm overlooking? (I'll do the scheduled task if I have to, but changing any server setting is a bureaucratic nightmare sometimes.)

Thanks.
