If you try to send out a ton of mail at once with CFMAIL, for some reason it
just stops working and you have to reboot the server or reinstall the dll.
Allaire just hasn't quite got thier arms around CFMAIL and CFFTP yet. And
they especially didn't have thier arms around it in 4.0. What I found works
is putting CFMAIL inside a loop and foregoing the query attribute. Then use
the cfx_wait tag between each iteration of the loop. BTW, Tony Aly came up
with this solution, so I cannot take credit for it. It works, give it a
try.
EG.,
<cfloop query="get_email_addresses">
<cftry>
<cfmail to="#trim(current_email)#"
from="#trim(get_email_message.from_vc)#"
subject="#trim(get_email_message.subject_vc)#"
server="#trim(attributes.mail_server)#">#get_email_message.message_mem#
</cfmail>
<CFX_Wait Sleeptime="1">
<cfcatch>
<CFX_Wait Sleeptime="10">
</cfcatch>
</cftry>
</cfloop>
The CFX_WAIT tag is available in the Allaire tag library
