Dave, You could have your code 'automatically' scrub the list and use a 'log' to keep track of the changes. This way you won't have to do a test run. Also, you could set up your code on a 'dummy' email server that will send the email but trap it prior to being mailed, this way you don't have to bother your recipients list. Also, you could create an email validation loop so that you can 'verify' the list without the concern for sending an email out at all (instead of doing a 'cfmail' tag, you would do the validation of the email address).
I don't know how large your recipient's list is, but I would try to not bother them with testing emails.

The scheme worked perfectly. Next I will have to warn my recipients that a test is coming so I can remove invalid recipients. Unless maybe you can suggest a method to delete them as they occur. I intend to add a confirmation message requirement to our contact form, which should have been there all along, but a means of automatically cleaning the existing mailing list would help everyone... me most of all though. Thanks again for your help.
