No you didn't, it is something that has to be explicitly enabled, for instance by writing it as a header in the email. As a hosting provider I require everybody using cfmail to write 2 extra headers for each email. Header number 1 is the X-Originating-IP which should always read #cgi.remote_addr# to track down people abusing (badly designed) email facilities. <cfmailparam name="X-Originating-IP" value="#cgi.remote_addr#"> Header number 2 is the X-Complaints-To header which should have the emailaddress of either the webmaster or the postmaster of the site. This header is intended to make sure that even people that host without their own domain get to handle their own email complaints. But the Complaints header gives a nice second option. Policy is to run a scheduled script at midnight which reads the contents of the undelivr folder. Each individual email is parsed for the presence of an X-Complaints-To header. If present the reason for the email being undeliverable is parsed from the mail.log and the email together with the reason are send to the X-Complaints-To address and are no longer my problem. People have been informed that email without an X-Complaints-To header that is found in the undelivr directory will be deleted. And the second way to solve the problem is that I have modified cf_advancedemail to be able to write to the pickup dir of any SMTP server, some of which perform quite a bit better than dart.dll. But processing of undeliverable emails remains the same. Jochem ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Your ad could be here.
