Two points.
1. separating email addresses with a semicolon is a M$oft Outlook/Exchange
thing. Many (most) email systems will want COMMAS, NOT semicolons.
2. we've had a problem sending to a list. In the case where one of the
emails in the list is not valid, the ones AFTER it don't get sent. For this
reason we adapted our code (which sends email to only a few people, not
dozens or hundreds) to loop OUTSIDE the CFMAIL tag sending one separate
email to each address.
<cfloop list="#SdMITo#" delimiters=";" index="oneEmail">
<cfmail to="#oneEmail#" ...>
</cfmail>
</cfloop>
