So my point remains .... I dont care which part of the system tells me what's wrong as long as SOMETHING does.
At the moment, the only indication you have that there's something wrong with your mail is the fact that it hasnt arrived. Or is is that your email has actually worked ok but just not arrived yet? One thing that could happens is Peter TIlbrook's idea - have the Undelivr folder (or it's equivaient) configurable in the code, perhaps in the CFMAIL tag - maybe a underliverto="" attribute. Then at least there would be one thing you could look at to see why the email didnt work. It doesnt cover all cases by any means but it does cover some, and thats a step in the right direction. I didnt mention your silly <cfmail></cfmail> example, because these days with tag completion and code hinting I have very few of that kind of syntax error. I'd never try to put that in a page because my IDE wouldnt let me without warning. Neil, you dont seem to think there is a need fo have any debugging of CFMAIL. I'm not sure why. Perhaps you never make errors. Perhaps you never use CFMAIL in a shared hosting environment where you have no access to any system level folders. Perhaps you love spending 5 times longer building a simple cfmail app than any other part of your system. I dont know . but i think there are lots of people who find CFMAIL a devil of a functionality to build unless it's very stock-standard and basic.
