Re: Is CFMAIL reliable??
We just recently ran into an issue on one of our CF8 enterprise servers that the mail had to be restarted. We figured it was probably because we are not up to date on the fixes/patches for CF on that server. Even saw postings online that described our same basic symptoms and how I believe one of the Hot Fixes addressed it. Our fix for right now has been to have a scheduled job run to check if things are not going out and to restart the spooler if that is the case.

RE: Is CFMAIL reliable??
Brook... Haven't used CFMail heavily for a year or so, but I've always found it fairly reliable. Occasionally you have to check the undelivr folder, but then I wrote a service to do that for me: http://undelivrnator.riaforge.org/ andy -Original Message- From: Brook Davies [mailto:cft...@logiforms.com] Sent: Monday, December 05, 2011 8:06 PM To: cf-talk Subject: Is CFMAIL reliable?? Hi Guys (and girls), You may notice a trend in my postings! Moving away from infusion (long over due) and looking at Native CF functions instead. So now I am looking at CFMAIL and in the past know it has been a bit dodgy. There is a conversation here about restarting the spooling service: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/msg342750.html And Ben Nadel talks about monitoring the undeliverable folder and how the spooler just occasionally stops working. http://www.bennadel.com/blog/1893-Monitoring-The-ColdFusion-Mail-Server-With -GMail-And-A-Scheduled-Task.htm The comments attest to this being an issue for a lot of people. So I guess the question is, has this been resolved or is it necessary to implement all of these hacks to keep CFMAIL running well?
