Because iMS-SE is a mail server that is tightly integrated with ColdFusion, it can offer several features that other CFMAIL replacements can't offer including:
- Real-time delivery status (you can know exactly when an email was delivered or if the delivery is deferred or if the email cannot be delivered) - Mail is sent via SMTP only once (remailer solutions, like ActivMail, send mail via SMTP to an external email server that then needs to send the mail again) - iMS-SE comes with an internal, secure SMTP relay server so you can continue using CFMAIL. Of course, you can also use the included CFX tag (which gives you many additional features) and also the included COM object which allows you to use iMS with other application servers (like ASP) and other applications like MS SQL Server. - iMS is scalable. All you need to do is add additional iMS servers or upgrade your iMS-SE product to our Professional or Enterprise offerings. - iMS offers 10 priority queues so that you can determine the delivery priority of all outgoing mail. - iMS includes a scheduler server (CFSchedule replacement). There are many, many more features that iMS has including tokenized emails (akin to a mail merge). iMS-SE 2.2 (soon-to-be released free upgrade) will also include a built-in server to process email bounces. This will allow you to track undeliverable email like no other email solution for application servers.
