There could be more to it than that. I've personally never altered the X-Mailer, and many of my clients email thousands of pieces to AOL members daily without trouble. However CF used to have at least one problem that needed a param to prop it up, which I still use (not sure if MX fixes it but I don't think so): No message-ID:
<cfmailparam name="Message-ID" value="<#CreateUUID()[EMAIL PROTECTED]"> There's a lot more that could be causing your mail to be dumped. AOL may have decided that your mail server is a spam factory. This may be for reasons that have nothing to do with you if you are on a shared host and that host is bombing folks via accounts you have no control over. Also the content of your message may be tripping a Bayesian filter mechanism. I'm not sure if AOL does content-based filtering. Or if you are blasting out mail in one big shot, which is very efficient from your end, you might be getting hit with a temp frequency block from AOL (although from what I have seen in this case AOL refused to accept the mail in the first place... that may have changed) You can either go thru the AOL postmaster's whitelisting process to lift yourself above the unwashed masses, or trickle down the speed of your mail to bypass AOL's and others' frequency filtering. Personally my clients have never had any trouble with AOL. I use trickling and the message ID only; The clients send large (up to 100k) html mails without incident. they also never go over about 10,000 emails in a batch. We trickle out at about 15 every 6 seconds, with the CF administrator set to flush the mail queue at its minimum interval of 5 seconds. With testing you can probably increase the number of mails per interval by a fair margin; perhaps as much as doubling it. http://mysecretbase.com/Slowing_Down_CFMail_2004.cfm If AOL is your sole issue I'd consider talking to them about whitelisting yourself and see if you hit any surprises like they hate your mail server for some reason. -- --Matt Robertson-- President, Janitor MSB Designs, Inc. mysecretbase.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| The annual ColdFusion User Conference is being held Sat 6/26 - Sun 6/27/04 8am-5pm in the Washington DC Area. http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=44 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:182453 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
