Can't this particular issue be resolved if you use the existing "failto"
attribute of CFMAIL?
As this would route failed mail to a specific email address instead of
the Undelivr folder.
Granted it's sub optimal, in that you have to look someplace else for
the messages.

I would like to see some better email debugging. 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 "
