Liza, Could be the cfmail bug, one of the reasons to consider upgrading to the new cfmail in MX. Here's the known solution from V A Friedman posted in CFDJ Vol5 Issue 3:
1 Open Services Dialog in Control Panel 2 Stop the CF Application Service 3 Stop the CF Executive Service 4 Open a Dos window and cd to the \cfusion\mail\spool folder 5 Remove all the files here (del *.*) or move them to temp folder for later review 6 Restart the CF App Server Service 7 Restart the CF Executive Service Look at the file in Notepad and remove any invalid ones. He has a batch file you could save and run if you had the probelm again REM Contents of fixmail.bat NET STOP "Cold Fusion Application Server" NET STOP "Cold Fusion Executive" cd \cfusion\mail\spool MKDIR TEMP MOVE *.* TEMP NET START "Cold Fusion Appication Server" NET START "Cold Fusion Executive" The bug apparently caused whenever a CFMAIL tag is called if CF unable to completely write the file, it generates a file with no data or with empty spaces. The dart.dll on the server goes into an infinite loop causing the server to maybe lock at 90-100% utilisation, restating the server has no effect since the affected file still in the spool directory. I`m guessing though your server has not crashed something similar to the above has happened because of SMTP being down, so try cleaning out the spool after stpping CF, then restart If the above does not work time out could be because cfmail previous to MX 6.1 is single threaded, cfmail trying to write to the spool while another cfmail has not been written therfore it times out, or something like that...... rgds Colm (old geeser:-) Colm Brazel MA CB Publications www.cbweb.net <http://www.cbweb.net> Macromedia-Dublin UserGroup Manager http://www.mmug-dublin.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Web Site Design & Development, Cold Fusion, general publishing including E-Books.
