Do the hotfix for the moment and decide about CF8 later. Supposedly the mail
service is far more robust on 8, but I can't say I've had to prove it.
Until you get the hotfix in, another thing you can try is using the
ServiceFactory to restart the mail spool.
<cfobject action="CREATE"
type="JAVA"
class="coldfusion.server.ServiceFactory"
name="factory">
<cfset MailSpoolService = factory.getMailSpoolService()>
<cfset MailSpoolService.restart()>

Ok, the restart got all the emails out of the spool.
Thanks again for all the help. My stress level just dropped immensely. I
didn't see any email lock up the spool again as was mentioned. Sounds like I
need to install the hotfix or convince my boss to upgrade to CF8.

Shawn and Cam got this, if you dump too many emails into the CF spool without
that hotfix. The spool will lock up and not do anything. You should see errors
in your mail.log file for CF. This is not an issue in CF8. A restart will
temporarily fix it but you will want to apply that hotfix or upgrade to CF8.
Typically, if you are sending a mass emails, do them in smaller batches of
100-200 each and send them in 5-10 min bursts to prevent problems such as these.

Oh, then you should restart the CF service. I had this happen just the other
day. There is a hotfix that addresses the specific issue behind it. Check the
adobe kb for it.

the emails are actually in the spool, not undeliverable. there's quite a few
in there comprising several days of reports. any ideas on why they would get
stuck in the spool?
like i said, i run the exact same script on the dev server and have no issues
at all which is ok for reports but there are other events that can occur in the
system that trigger the sending of an email that I can't use the dev server as
a work around.

Just copy the files back to the spool from undeliverable. But if the messages
are defective, or the server is misconfigured they may not resend.

Ok, so the mail/spool directory has all the missing emails. Is there a way to
force the spool to fire off?

Have you checked the mail/spool directory or the mail/undelivrd
directories for the messages? Is there a scheduled task triggering
the emails? Manually run it and watch those directories to see if it
appears. If it doesn't, the template is probable erroring - run it by
hand in the browser to see what the error is. You may also want to
look in the application.log and exception.log files for the error if
it's now trapped in a cfcatch block.
If you are sure the template isn't erroring, make sure that mail
logging is turned on in the administrator and check the logs.
