Sorry for the delay - I had to do some testing :-)
Anyway, the server will only parse the mail for tokens if you have at least
one token defined. So, here's an example:
<cfquery name="test" datasource="testlist">
select email from members
</cfquery>
<cfx_imsmail query="test" queryfield="email"
smtpfrom="<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" priority="9" warnto="<>" failto="<>"
header_to="[email protected]" header_from="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
header_subject="test" token_test="test"
body="test message"
>
First, I do a query called "TEST". Then, in the CFX call I do two special
things:
1 - Set the header_to equal to the predefined token of [email protected]
2 - add a dummy token called test (token_test="test"). This causes the CFX
to instruct the POST Server to parse for embedded tokens.
Please let me know if you have any questions...
Regards,
Howie
