That would be the best you could hope for - the ability to read into your own email space. I am suprised that this isn't possible.
You won't be able to get much more info that what is recorded in the txt file itself as ColdFusion seems to work on the principle of, f it was able to be written to the disk that was a success! Is there no way you can create your own filename/header then surely that way, if allowed you could just read into the spool/undlvb folder for it. A mail process does write the error into the email file itself - so you can get the error should you need to.

At the moment there's none. You fill out a form, click submit, then wait .. and wait .. and wait .. and eventually conclude that your email isnt going to arrive. Then with nothing to go on except the assumption that your email didnt work, you try to debug what might be the problem. THen try again .. and wait . and wait . and wait . and wait. In a shared environment you dont even get to see the failed emails cos they are in a system level folder. Try to ask the sysadmin to pick out yours and they are confronted with a undelivr folder with who knows how many emails in there and they are asked to scan through them all for you. If they feel like it. I reckon it should be possible for the CFMAIL tag to produce far better error reporting than just ** *NOTHING ** And Peter TIlbrook came up with a great idea today - why cant the Undelivr folder be in the shared web space somewhere - each site owner can have their own maybe a "failto="" kind of parameter in the CFMAIL tag. so the failed emails will be where we can all get at them and have a look at what the problem is. It's got to be better than "send an email and see if it works, if it doesnt try something else and see if that works " Cheers Mike Kear Windsor, NSW, Australia Certified Advanced ColdFusion Developer AFP Webworks http://afpwebworks.com ColdFusion, PHP, ASP, ASP.NET hosting from AUD$15/month ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:247974 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
