Just did a little bit of testing on my machine here... You can add messages to the mail queue via cfquery. If you configure it to send messages as soon as they arrive in the spool, you have to trigger the sending process by sending a message through the server in the normal way. This could be via cfmail, or any other mechanism you choose. Depending on the exact problem you are having, this may or may not be a useful solution.
The test I tried inserted 20 messages into the database, and used cfmail to send a dud message to a black-hole email address. The dud message and the 20 messages were all sent as soon as the cfmail spooler had sent the message to postcast server. You can also configure postcast to send messages on a scheduled basis, but the most frequent setting you can have for it is once per hour. Again, depending on the exact nature of the problem this may or may not be a problem.
