Bettina, tracking successful receipt isn't really a CF problem. It's an inherent email problem. About all you have is using return-receipt requested (which you can do via cfmailparam, as shown on http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/8/htmldocs/help.html?content=Tags_m-o_0 2.html), or using a web beacon (that surreptitiously sends a request back to your server in response for an image request). There are problems with both, again having nothing to do with CF, in that most mail clients ask if people want to send the return receipt (I rarely choose to), or they may block images from being requested (which would block your beacon getting out).
To Ajas' point, you could at least confirm by looking in the mail directories (and logs) to see if the mail failed to get out, but you really can't track what happens to it once it leaves CF and gets out through the destination mail server. That's my understanding, at least. /charlie From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ajas Mohammed Sent: Thursday, November 13, 2008 7:49 PM To: discussion@acfug.org Subject: Re: [ACFUG Discuss] CFMail Delivery Confirmation Hi, Do you have access to the CF Administrator? If yes, then there is a setting in mail settings where in you could set Admin to maintain log of emails sent.. I believe that would be a good starting point to see if mails are being sent out or not.

Is there anyway to tell if the email was successfully delivered to the recipient? I have tried using the spoolEnable and timeOut attributes but it has not done anything. Thank you!
