I'm pleased to announce the availability of CFX_iMSMail version 2.4. The biggest news in this version is that you can now easily implement server load balancing. Change list: + Added thread-safe code. You should now be able to use the CFX without CFLOCKs + Implemented server load balancing. You can now specify a comma-delimited list of folders in the SPOOLDIR parameter and the tag will automatically distribute the mail evenly across the specified folders. + Added TOKENSTART and TOKENEND parameters so that you can specify custom token delimiters. Note: This feature requires iMS 1.6 Beta 9 which is not yet released (contact me off-list if you want it sooner than later) + Added PARSETOKENS parameter so that you no longer need to provide a dummy token when using only built-in tokens. + Added MAXRECIPIENTS parameter which specifies the maximum number of recipients per control file. This new tag should allow for some relatively easy load balancing. You can even use iMS POST-SE on the balanced servers for a low-cost solution. Here's an example setup: Server1: Controlling server with ColdFusion, templates, CFX tag POST1, POST2, ..., POSTN: Other servers running iMS POST only (you can also add ColdFusion to these servers if you need to implement ReportPOSTStatus templates). Example CFX call from Server1 <cfset SpoolList=""\\post1\c$\ims\out,\\post2\c$\ims\out,...,\\postN\c$\ims\out""> <cfx_imsmail spooldir="#SpoolList#" ...> Now, the outgoing mail is load-balanced among the POST Servers. Download: You can download the latest tag and manual from: ftp://ftp.coolfusion.com/pub/ods/cfx_imsmail/cfx_imsmail24.zip Note: there is currently no installer nor source code for this version. The ZIP file contains the DLL and manual only. Please let me know if there are any problems or questions.
