Don't take this the wrong way, but why would this be listed in the Adobe documentation? It has nothing to do with CFMAIL really - you can send any acceptable SMTP header with CFMAILPARAM. > What I really want to do is confirm that the mail has been delivered. > > That should be something like: > > <cfmailparam name="Delivery-Notification-To" value="[email protected]"> > or > <cfmailparam name="Delivery-Status-To" value="[email protected]"> or > <cfmailparam name="Status-Notification-To" value="[email protected]"> > > Does anyone know what the correct attribute is for Delivery Status > Notifications? I can't find that documented anywhere. I don't think that will be likely to work in any case. These are not built into core SMTP functionality (neither are read receipts) so it's up to the recipient server to either do these things or not do them. Also, there are different "standards" out there for this. Finally, the most common standard for Delivery Status Notification (DSN) doesn't rely on a separate header - if I recall correctly, it becomes part of the RCPT TO command, like this: RCPT TO: [email protected] NOTIFY=SUCCESS,FAILURE,DELAY ORCPT=rfc822;[email protected] Here's the relevant RFC: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1891 Dave Watts, CTO, Fig Leaf Software http://www.figleaf.com/ http://training.figleaf.com/ Fig Leaf Software is a Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB) on GSA Schedule, and provides the highest caliber vendor-authorized instruction at our training centers, online, or onsite. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:352266 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
