Thanks Gary, but that would involve a redevelopment of the mailing procedures, which would be too much hassle for us at the moment...we're just looking for quick ad-hoc fixes for the moment ;-)

While this is true, I have always dealt with this problem by not using CFMAIL directly. I generally log emails to a database and then send them from there using a background task. The current one in use at our organisation is written in PERL and doesnt use CFMAIL at all. The current plan is convert the backend schedule stuff over to CFSCHEDULE and CFMAIL again now that the mail engine is better in 6.1. If you use the above process you never have to change your mail interface on your web pages - but you can change the backend to use anything you like (for example if you are using SQL*Server you could write a mail agent to use SENDMAIL from SQL). The other thing this approach gives is complete control over all mails. You can move them around, dead mails can go into a dead mail table and they are easy to find, review and reschedule. You can assign priorities to mails (and write your scheduler to do higher priorities first). And, in our current case, we have multiple mail deliverers connecting to multiple mail servers (so the throughput we can get is significant).
