Re: Undeliverable CFMAIL
Here's what I've tried so far: Moving one test message from /Undelivr to /Spool. Of course there's a typo in the name, so I changed it from Undelievered_Mailx to Undelivered_Mailx. I also tried removing the Undelivered part of the mail. Once I had moved and renamed it, I restarted the JRun server. Then I watched the Spool directory to see when the message would leave the spool. Eventually, the message vanished from the Spool directory but it was not delivered. When I checked the Undeliv directory, the message was there. I checked the mailsent.log file and saw only that the message had been moved, but there was no reason listed for why the message was undeliverable. In order to test this process, I introduced a deliberate error into the Mail Server settings of the Cold Fusion administrator, so that the system would not be able to contact the mail server. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -- Richard S.

Turns out that I had to fix the mail server IP address in the undelivered message file. Once I moved the file, renamed it, and fixed the IP address, then restarted the JRun server, the mail was delivered and received properly. Like I said, I'm a goober.

If memory serves, there was a bug in CFMX6.0 that moving files from Undelivr to Spool wouldn't cause them to be sent until CF was restarted. There was also something about the files being renamed (and Undelivered being misspelled, too) and the Spooler wouldn't pick up those files until they were renamed to the proper format. I can't find the technote, though. Fixed in 6.1. All works just fine for me with the latest updater. (Works in CF5.0 too, FWIW.) __ Do you Yahoo!? Check out the new Yahoo!
