[bump] Does anyone happen to know whether this problem is fixed/ameliorated by upgrading from CF8 to CF9?

Re: C:\ColdFusion8\Mail\Spool
Typically you'll see an error in your ColdFusion mail.log file that will state that the connection to your mail server failed at some point. That didn't happen in this case.

Re: C:\ColdFusion8\Mail\Spool
The same thing has happened to use before. I never found any logs indicating the cause and a service restart prompted the spooled emails to start sending again. It was just one of the few reasons we put all of our servers on a weekly reboot schedule.
