I started having this problem as well recently. Is it a bug, and if so, has adobe addressed it?
I'm running 7,0,2,142559 The "Update Level" in my cf admin is hf702-64335.jar http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb401239&sliceId=2 It seems in my case (from exception.log) that there were timeouts waiting on locks for folders. (This causes CFMAIL to throw an error) EX: "Error","jrpp-21270","07/09/07","22:17:56",,"An exception occurred when setting up mail server parameters. This exception was caused by: coldfusion.mail.MailSpooler$SpoolLockTimeoutException: A timeout occurred while waiting for the lock on the mail spool directory.." 2 coldfusion.mail.MailSessionException: An exception occurred when setting up mail server parameters. 3 at coldfusion.mail.MailSpooler.postSpoolMail(MailSpooler.java:1189) 4 at coldfusion.mail.MailSpooler.storeMail(MailSpooler.java:652) 5 at coldfusion.tagext.net.MailTag.doAfterBody(MailTag.java:619) Another example: (This is from the scheduler doing a normal flush of the mail spool) "Error","scheduler-0","07/09/07","22:17:56",,"A problem occurred when attempting to deliver mail. This exception was caused by: coldfusion.mail.MailSpooler$SpoolLockTimeoutException: A timeout occurred while waiting for the lock on the mail spool directory.." 47 coldfusion.mail.MailDeliveryException: A problem occurred when attempting to deliver mail. 48 at coldfusion.mail.MailSpooler.refreshSpoolFiles(MailSpooler.java:1560) 49 at coldfusion.mail.MailSpooler.run(MailSpooler.java:934) 50 at coldfusion.scheduling.ThreadPool.run(ThreadPool.java:201) 51 at coldfusion.scheduling.WorkerThread.run(WorkerThread.java:70) I upped my mail interval to 90 seconds (from 30) to see if that helps (since sending spooled mail would seem to compete with writing spool files). >Well so far all seems ok so for future reference for anyone this problem >happens to, removing update 2 seems to solve it. > >-----Original Message----- >From: James Smith [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: 02 July 2007 11:20 >To: CF-Talk >Subject: RE: Mail error > >In this case I had only just installed CF so there were no other fixes to >remove. > >I have removed the jar file from the updates folder and restarted CF, only >time will tell if this does indeed fix the problem. > >I will let you know if it is all still working in a week. > >-- >Jay > >-----Original Message----- >From: Andrew Scott [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: 02 July 2007 10:36 >To: CF-Talk >Subject: Re: Mail error > >*1.
