re[2]: [ACFUG Discuss] CFMail Delivery Confirmation

[Mischa Uppelschoten ext 10]

: Oh! Atleast according to the documention in Adobe website, if you use the :  spoolEnable = false in CFMAIL or use the CF administrators Mail settings to :  disable spooling altogether, the page that sends out the email, should :  atleast try to send out the email immediately and, give you out an :  application exception if there was a delivery or connection issues. The only connection issue you're going to troubleshoot this way is between the CF server and your own SMTP server, as defined in the CF Administrator. The SMTP server receives the message from CF, spools it, and then tries to deliver it to the recipient's mailserver. This process may or may not fail.   The OP wrote: " Is there anyway to tell if the email was successfully delivered to the recipient?"   Yes, there is, but it's not easy doing it from ColdFusion. As outlined above, the CF server itself never connects to the recipients mailserver, so it cannot by itself determine whether the message was delivered or not. Only the sending SMTP server knows whether a message was successfully delivered or not.   Successful message delivery may not even be what you need: it doesn't tell you with absolute certainty that the mailbox (email address) is valid and it of course is no guarantee at all that the recipient actually got and read the message.   Hope that makes sense!
