Try this on the Flex-side (the modified CFC function [see below] returns a
Boolean):
public function recoverPassword(eventObj:ResultEvent):void{
if (eventObj.result){
Alert.show(''Your credentials have been sent to the
email address on file.', 'Password Recovery Confirmation');
currentState = '';
} else {
Alert.show(''The email address that you supplied was
not found in our records.', 'Email Not Found');
}
}
On the CF-side:
<!--- Password Retrieval --->
<cffunction name="recoverPassword" access="remote" returntype="boolean">
<cfargument name="form_data" type="struct">
<cfset var accountCheck="">
<cftry>
<cfquery datasource="#Application.ds#" name="accountCheck">

Tom,
Whenever my application tries to send a mail using the CFMAIL functionality
it either crashes or no mails show up in SpoolMail.
Before I installed SpoolMail, my Coldfusion/Flex application was crashing due
to reference to a null object eventObj which made me think that since I have no
mail server installed, it is occurring when CFMAIL tries to send an email and
posted here on May 26.
The application has a functionality something like the below for Recovering
password function.
User clicks a button in the Flex front end, enters his mail address, after
which a function called recoverPassword is called in the "login.mxml" file
which has code as
public function recoverPassword(eventObj:ResultEvent):void{
if(eventObj.result.status == 'true'){
Alert.show(eventObj.result.statusMsg, 'Password
Recovery Confirmation');
currentState = '';
}
else{
Alert.show(eventObj.result.errMsg, 'Email Not Found');
}
}
In the ColdFusion component file, there is a function
<!--- Password Retrieval --->
<cffunction name="recoverPassword" access="remote" returntype="any">
<cfargument name="form_data" type="struct">
<cftry>
<cfquery datasource="#Application.ds#" name="accountCheck">
SELECT *
FROM user_accounts
WHERE email = '#form_data.email#<cfif form_data.email
does not contain '@domain.com'>@domain.com</cfif>'
</cfquery>
<cfif accountCheck.recordcount>
<cfmail from="[email protected]" to="#accountCheck.email#"
subject="Credentials Request" type="html">
Dear #accountCheck.fname# #accountCheck.lname#, <br
/><br />
You have requested that we send your login
credentials for the system on #DateFormat(now(), 'MMMM DD,YYYY')#.
<br /><br />
Your log-in information:<br />
<b>Email address:</b> #accountCheck.email#<br />
<b>Password:</b> #accountCheck.password#
<br /><br />
If you did not request your login credentials, please
contact us immediately at <a
href="mailto:[email protected]";>[email protected]</a>:
<br /><br />
<span style="color:red; font-weight:bold;
font-style:italic;">Please do not reply to this email</span>
</cfmail>
<cfset result['status'] = true>
<cfset result['statusMsg'] = 'Your credentials have been
sent to the following email address: #accountCheck.email#'>
<cfelse>
<cfset result['errMsg'] = 'The email address that you
supplied was not found in our records.'>
<cfset result['status'] = false>
</cfif>
<cfreturn result>
<cfcatch>
<cfsavecontent variable="contentSaver">
<cfdump var="#cfcatch#">
</cfsavecontent>
<cffile action="write"
file="#ExpandPath('.')#\debug.html" output="#contentSaver#">
</cfcatch>
</cftry>
</cffunction>
Before I installed SpoolMail the application crashed at public function
recoverPassword(eventObj:ResultEvent):void as the eventObj was null so trying
to access eventObj.result.status resulted in an access violation.
After I installed SpoolMail it is still crashing and nothing shows up in
SpoolMail. I commented out the function public function
recoverPassword(eventObj:ResultEvent):void, but still nothing shows up in
SpoolMail.
Am I missing something?
Any advice would be appreciated?
Thanks

I tried Spoolmail, but could not see any section named Custom Extensions in
the ColdFusion Administrator in my browser(Firefox 3.6) after I copied the
Spoolmail files into the web root at: /CFIDE/admistrator and creating the
extensionscustom.cfm as explained in the install.doc file.
I'm afraid I have no way of knowing the problem. 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.
