forged Outlook headers.
There was some discussion a while back about how the X-mailer, if set to
Cold Fusion (the default) would trigger spam filters/blocking as well (since
it was hypothesized that only bulk mail would come from CF, and therefore,
its spam). The Outlook (or express) was deemed at that time an acceptable
alternative. So, can the assumption be that neither work now - what's a
legit, above board, double opt-in list emailer to do?
Thanks, Mark

You should check with the mail server admin and see if any mail is being
blocked dut to spam filtering (they may be able to whitelist your CF server
if this is the case). As for the mailerid and x-mailerid - these do the
same thing and your mail has two headers that are the same.
Our SPAM filter, BTW, is tagging mail generated from your code as having
forged Outlook headers. This may be due to the aforementioned doubled-up
headers which look like this:
X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2800.1158
X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2800.1158

Hi all,
A client who sends email using the <cfmail> coding listed below, has
noticed
a moderate increase in undeliverables in the last few weeks. I don't
think
it's a throttling issue, as he sends to groups of just a few hundred at a
time. I'm using CFMX6.1 on Win03.
Just to make sure, are there any parameters that are duplicated in the
following code or that you would suggest adding or deleting? (Is the
mailerID and x-mailer the same, if so, which should I use?) We're only
doing
plain text messaging (no HTML).

Thanks, Mark
