Annoying undelivered email issue
Hi Richard, I think the bigger problem is why they aren't being sent in the first place. Check that your email isn't being flagged as spam by the recipient's server ( or whoever handles the MX records for your company ). We had a similar issue and it wound up to be that AOL was refusing our emails as we were not on their white list. We're still using MX around here (because of an incredibly sloppy setup by my predecessor, upgrading to 6.1 is impractical at best), and we're having a problem with our unsent e-mail. When CF cannot send an e-mail, it puts that e-mail in the /Mail/Undelivr directory with the filename 'Undelievered_Mailx.cfmail'. I should be able to rename that message to 'Mailx.cfmail' and move it to /Mail/Spool and restart the server, and have those messages sent out (or at least put back into the Undelivr diretory. However, these messages are not getting resent; they're just sitting in the Spool directory. What am I doing wrong? This has worked before, and no changes have been made to our installation. -- Richard Crawford, Programmer III UC Davis Extension Distance Education Group http://unexdlc.ucdavis.edu http://www.extensiondlc.net 2901 K Street, Suite 200C Sacramento, CA 95620 Tel: (916)327-7793 e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.

Re: Annoying undelivered email issue
The mail server in question is our own server. It was down for a few hours while we upgraded it. It's up now, but during the time it was down, several messages were undeliverable. Now that the server is back up, they should be going out. Even so, though, if they're not deliverable, they should at least be moving over to the Undelivr folder instead of simply sitting in the Spool folder.
