Am using CFMX 6.1 (now updator also). Use CFMX for text based e-mail, then
use a COM component for other multi-part e-mails.

CFMAIL and CFPOP work great from our box. We use Mailenable to send our mail
and it works super sweet! It also eliminates the problems some people have
with CFPOP. We did extensive testing and haven't had any trouble with CFMAIL
to date.

What version of CF are you running? I think 6.1 fixed some issues but
in general CFMAIL doesn't behave very well according to the email
specs. Spam filters pick up on this and treat its mail as spam.

We've had similar issues with SpamAssassin, but fortunately it tells
you what is wrong with each email.

Here are somethings we found that helped:

<cfmail 
        from='"#mailoutSender#" <#mailoutSenderEmail#>' 
        to="#memberEmail#" 
        subject="#mailoutSubject#" 
        type="HTML">
        <cfmailparam name="Message-Id"
value="<#createUUID()[EMAIL PROTECTED]>">
        <cfmailparam name="MIME-Version" value="1.0">
        <cfmailparam name="Reply-To"
value="#get_mailout.mailoutSenderEmail#">

The extra stuff in the from= attribute covers SpamAssassin catching
you out on the email coming from an email address only - not a real
name and an email.

The cfmailparam thingos are required mail headers that cfmail doesn't
include by default.

Have a look at these pages to find out more about these headers:

Message-Id & Reply-To - http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2822.html - section 3.6
Mime-Version - http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2045.html section 4.

Also have a look at http://spamassassin.apache.org/tests_2_6x.html
