Cfemail issue(s)
Hi all, I have a couple of issues with cfmail. Environment: Windows 2003, CF8.01 ent The server stopped sending emails After checking the logs .I found out that it stopped after complaining that one email had Invalid Address which is strange because I check all emails using isEmail () before sending and I looked at all the emails in the spool directory and none have any bad email addresses.The one that CF was complaining about had 500 email addresses but all are valid. After that, no emails are sent out. They just sit in the spool directory. I have tried to move them in and out, play with CF admin mail settings but no luck. Somehow the original message caused CF server to ignore mail messages in the spool directory. So my questions are: Is it possible to re-send the emails, short of restarting CF? Second why would an email fail with Invalid address if all the emails are valid email addresses. Third, why will that error cause CF server to black out and stop sending emails (even if after I have manually removed the so called offending email with Invalid Address) Thanks Victor ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

RE: Cfemail issue(s)
Victor, Do you mean you are passing a list of 500 addresses in a single attribute? As in: cfmail to=b...@blah.com,bl...@blah.com ... If that is what you are doing I would not be surprised if there is a buffer for that attribute that truncates your string at some point. You would be better off looping through your addresses. Meanwhile you can try restarting the spooler: cflock type=EXCLUSIVE name=MailSpoolServiceLock timeout=10 throwontimeout=No cfobject action=CREATE type=JAVA class=coldfusion.server.ServiceFactory name=factory cfset MailSpoolService = factory.getMailSpoolService() cfset MailSpoolService.restart() /cflock -Mark Mark A.

Re: Cfemail issue(s)
Thank you both. I guess I will have to restart the server which will piss all the people on it. One would think that Adobe (Allaire, Macromedia) will have a fix for this by now.

Re: Cfemail issue(s)
Good point. I am not. The customer is sending. Now that I know that, I have to change the process and send in batches. Unfortunately the code bellow didn't restart the spooler so I had to restart the server Thanks Victor On Thu, Aug 27, 2009 at 11:06 AM, Mark Krugermkru...@cfwebtools.com wrote: Victor, Do you mean you are passing a list of 500 addresses in a single attribute?

Re: Cfemail issue(s)
True. I had a resend email scheduler job already implemented. I end up sending in batches. 200 emails at one time. It seems it's working fine. Is there a upper limit that I should be aware?
