Without getting some sort of access to the logs or the mail folders (spool and undeliverable) there's no real way to check. I never really got that far when I was on shared hosting so the issue never came up, but now I have a dedicated box so I do some checks. The only suggestion I'd have is to put the failto parameter in <cfmail> and set an address that bounce backs can go to and you can analyze those. That won't handle issues with the SMTP server or anything like that though (I don't think). Otherwise, the backhanded thing to do would be to see if you're in a sandbox on your box and if not, perhaps you could use cffile and cfdirectory to view logs and folders to see what worked and what failed. Not sure I should recommend that, but we all know it's a possibility.

Is there a way to assure that a batch of mail was sent in a shared hosting environment? In other words, I am sending out 7K emails in a batch and want to know which ones successfully passed through the mail server and which ones didn't. BUT - I don't have access to the mail server log files whatsoever, due to the client being in a shared environment. When I'm sending these mailings out, it seems like we have some people who are getting the mail, and people who aren't, and the results change per mailing. It's a weird problem that I need to get to the bottom of.
