Not sure what parameters but there may be an smtpfrom address, this is the one that would get the returned mail in the first instance and is the one that is uses at the protocol level. So if the mail is failing because of a bad MX Lookup or is rejected with an unknown user by the recipient s mail server it would go to that address.

Do you have access to the smtp log of the mail server you are sending through and the one that should be bouncing your mail.

Anyone with an SMTP server can help you by checking the log and seeing what is actually being attempted by your ISPs mailserver.

I do not know what parameters you can set with CFmail in CFMX.

If you are dealing with volume mail you need, in my opinion the following variables to manage it all the mail from aspect properly

A failto:
A warnto:
An SMTPFROM
A FROM
A Reply-TO



You may not need all of these every time but it certainly gives you the degree of control and will cover most possibilities.

Of course unless you need to handle the bounces progmatically all that matters is that you do get back the bounces and failures. If you need to handle the failed mail progmatically then you need something iMS.

If no one else offers I can supply you with a couple of address to try on one of our servers one good and one duff and get you to send mail then mail you the log extract of the transactions.

However I am out of the office tomorrow so some one else may be able to assist faster.

Of course by now if its Hotmail addresses you may have had them returned by now it can take some time with some of the larger free webmail services.

usually bounced mail goes to the FROM address by default. The failto address
is an optional extra, such as returning it to the postmaster.

If your not getting bounces, it could be down to your SMTP server failing to
do this, the recipient server has not yet returned it.
