If the files are in the correct place, the "Custom Extensions" menu choice should be available at the bottom of the left-hand menu in CF Admin. Clicking it will reveal the SpoolMail link. > In extensions section in the Coldfusion administrator, all I see is Java > Applets, CFX Tags, Custom Tag Paths, CORBA Connectors > Yep. But that's the wrong place. The "Custom Extensions" choice is separate from "Extensions." It's probably the last choice in the left-hand menu. If you're certain that all files are correct, and in the correct place, I guess you could try restarting the CF service. The SpoolMail docs don't mention it, and I can't imagine why it should be necessary, but you could try it. I've installed SpoolMail on several machines. If it's set up correctly, it always works. > > Next, Spoolmail is used for reading mail only meaning an email server is > required for testing and Spoolmail will be helpful in reading it? > Or, is no mail server required if using Spoolmail? > You don't need a mail server. The actual mail message is created and formatted properly by the CFMAIL functionality. If ColdFusion cannot connect to a mail server, it places the message in its "undelivered" folder. You can find it at {CFInstallDirectory}/Mail/Undelivr. SpoolMail just looks into this directory and displays what's there. -- Thanks, Tom Tom McNeer MediumCool http://www.mediumcool.com 1735 Johnson Road NE Atlanta, GA 30306 404.589.0560
