Hi Greg,
The CFCONTENT should be pointing to a drive that is not accessible via the
web.
Here is some of my code:
<cfparam default="" name="attachment">
<cfif attachment is not "">
<cfparam default="application/octet-stream" name="type">
<cfif right(attachment,4) is ".txt">
<cfset type ="text/plain">
<cfelseif attachment contains ".htm">
<cfset type ="text/html">
<cfelseif attachment contains ".html">
<cfset type ="text/html">
<cfelseif right(attachment,3) is ".pl">
<cfset type ="text/html">
<cfelseif right(attachment,4) is ".doc">
<cfset type ="application/msword">
<cfelseif right(attachment,4) is ".xls">
<cfset type ="application/msexcel">
<cfelseif right(attachment,4) is ".zip">
<cfset type ="application/x-zip-compressed">
<cfelseif right(attachment,4) is ".pdf">
<cfset type ="application/pdf">
<cfelseif right(attachment,4) is ".gif">
<cfset type ="image/gif">
<cfelseif right(attachment,4) is ".jpg">
<cfset type ="image/jpeg">
<cfelseif right(attachment,4) is ".bmp">
<cfset type ="x-MS-bmp">
</cfif>
<Cfif FileExists("#filelocation#")>
<cfcontent type="#type#" file="e:\imail\users\#session.user#\#attachment#"
>
<CFELSE>
<font face="Arial" size="+1"><center>
<b> This file is unable to be accessed. <br>
The Webmaster has been notified.</b></center></font>
<cfmail to="ali" from="ali" subject="webmail: attachment ">
attachment not accessed
user: #session.user#
pass: #session.pass#
attachment: #attachment#
</cfmail>
</CFif>
