Yes. From there it is picked up by the default CF mail handler (dart.dll). > I was wondering if you or anyone else had looked at the actual MAIL SPOOL on > your mail server...

For me to implement that I would need to know what additional requirements are needed when writing to a diferent mail handler. CF requires 7 specially formatted lines followed by a blank line. What would MDaemon/IIS SMTP/Sendmail(?) etc. require? > We run Mdaemon which is plain text files in directories just like CF... the > specification would be simple to duplicate without documentation...

I will include something a little bit more generic in the final version, i.e. the ability to return a variable which is the entire email content. Then people can figure out for themselves how to feed that to some SMTP system. > Maybe all that is obvious...
