Eri*k*a & Chris, Thanks for that tip Erika, it resolved my problem with ntconsolejava.e maxing out to 99% =) In re to the information Chris thankfully relayed to our wonderful lil' community it would appear that the CFMail bug isn't confined to Solaris and is relatively widespread (judging from the responses over the last fortnight+ of discussion). It is a little disappointing that Allaire (*cough MM) took so long to reply back to the community per se when messages relating to this serious problem have been bouncing around CF-Talk for over two weeks (well, on other occasions they have rapidly sent succinct replies). On the other hand somehow we all have missed a important bug bulletin notifying us of the problem.

This blocks further mail delivery and causes the CPU usage to skyrocket. Ours went to 80% when "idle" and 99+% with two cfserver threads running.

After several frustrating attempts (including several reboots) to figure out why all of a sudden the CPU was pegged at 100% and the computer barely working, I went into the mail spool folder, deleted that message waiting to send...and VOILA! Server was back to normal. (I don't even know why it occurred to me to check that.) .......
