That is not what we are saying! The fact here is that you say there is no way to tell if an email fails - and we know there is - both at server level and code.
What more do you need to tell that an email fails? it is all their for you. ColdFusion is 10 years old and this is probably that most basic of tags. Jochen provided a good way hosts deal with the undeliverable.

There is nothing about any aspect of ColdFusion that could possibly be improved. Waste of time suggesting anything. The fact that I spend a significant amount of my time helping my clients work through CFMAIL problems is probably only fantasy on my part. What a bunch of negative thinkers you lot are. I'm bloody glad you arent working on the feature list for the next version. There would be no new features at all.

If the programmer didn't bother about a failto attribute I suppose he doesn't want the errors and I just delete the failed email. > > > The problem with that is exactly the opposite problem from the one Mike has: some errors get handled twice, once in the try/catch that gets triggered when you don't spool and once when they are in the undeliverable folder.
