The easiest way is to simply write a page that sends you an email and
thats it. Then set up a scheduled task on your personal machine that
hits the url of your email template.
If your a lot of your email is ending up in cfmail's undeliverable
folder and the emails are being sent to correct email addresses, your
isp may have mail server problems. Try to get them to set up the below
script or one like it to run every 30 minutes or so on the server. It
will copy any undeliverable email from the undeliverable folder back to
the spool. If the mail server problems are intermittent, this will give
the email's another chance to be sent.
var fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
try {
fso.CopyFile("c:\\cfusion\\mail\\undelivr\*.cfmail","c:\\cfusion\\mail\\spool");
} catch(e) {
WScript.Echo(e.description);
}
