CFMAIL TO param problems with large queries
Hello All, I am trying to use CFMAIL in 6.1 to email a large list that worked in CF 4.5. Apparently MM has added additional restrictions to what can be used in the TO parameter. Basically I have a query that gets about 6000+ records I then use the tag as such: http://www.unisyn.com"; from="Unisyn Newsletter System <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" subject="#form.subject#">#form.body# In the query I have specified: and email is not null and email <> '' and email like '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' But it always gives the error: Attribute validation error for tag CFMAIL. The value of the attribute TO is invalid. The length of the string, 0 character(s), must be greater than or equal to 1 character(s). The error occurred in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\unisyn\administration\emailnewsletter.cfm: line 107 105 : http://www.unisyn.com"; 109 :from="Unisyn Newsletter System <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" Does anyone know why this isn't working? -Dustin Snell ~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=i:4:138284 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=t:4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Your ad could be here.

Re: CFMAIL TO param problems with large queries
Another note - I also, tried: and email like '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Still get the error below. Isn't it impossible then with this in my query that any records could be included that have 0 length in the email field as the error states?

RE: CFMAIL TO param problems with large queries
Wrap your cfmail statement in a recordcount test uh oh #sendnewsletter.email# The first block will isolate whether you have a problem with your query syntax. The second will output the email address, if one is being returned, so you can debug the thing. The cfaborts will keep the output down to size for now. You may also want to output the primary key value so you know which record is causing the problem.

Re: CFMAIL TO param problems with large queries
Oddly it seems that I am getting all the records but at the end there is what seems to be a blank email address. When I cfoutput the results it outputs the text [empty string] at the end. Seems that should be impossible with the LIKE email ='[EMAIL PROTECTED]' in the query . The query is ordered by email so I see this entry at the very end. I am disturbed that a blank email is being included in the query, but also disturbed that CF seems to be outputting the text [empty string] when it should just be blank! -Dustin - Original Message - From: "Matt Robertson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, September 24, 2003 10:13 AM Subject: RE: CFMAIL TO param problems with large queries > Wrap your cfmail statement in a recordcount test > > >uh oh > >#sendnewsletter.email# > > > The first block will isolate whether you have a problem with your query > syntax.

In a previous email, you specified that : In the query I have specified: and email is not null and email <> '' and email like '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' You don't have an OR clause before the email checks that is letting through that record, do you?

Try switching and see what happens with your query results. Also, you should just be able to do: SELECT emailaddress FROM myTable WHERE emailaddress IS NOT NULL OR TRIM(emailaddress) != '' That should cover all instances of blank or NULL e-mail fields. I don't know if there's a TRIM() function in SQL Server, so you may have to do LTRIM(RTRIM(emailaddress)) to get the same effect (I'm on Oracle, so I just don't know that answer).

Re: CFMAIL TO param problems with large queries
I *am* disturbed with CF because this new attribute validation is *breaking* code that worked before in 4.5. This validation is unnecessary and is better to be left for the mail server to handle. It is especially a hassle when you are passing the query parameter to the CFMAIL tag the query contains 6000 records!

I, too, just migrated from CF 4.5, and I don't recall ever being able to put anything other than a valid e-mail address in the TO attribute. In my experience, CF always failed on an invalid address. But that's neither here nor there. As for compatibility with CF 4.5, well that's always a crap shoot, and I definitely feel your pain on that front. We just migrated our site from CF 4.5 to CFMX 6.0->6.1 and had all sorts of those little quirks to work out. The way I looked at it was that Macromedia claimed compatibility with CF 5 and no earlier, so I just sucked it up and fixed what had to be done. By the way, you didn't mention whether or not the query suggestion worked? Taking care of it at the root instead of len(trim()) tests is more efficient and a cleaner implementation.

Re: CFMAIL TO param problems with large queries
Thank you for your understanding. Empathy always helps a bit :-) As for your suggestion, as long as my code is using the QUERY param of the CFMAIL (instead of doing it one at a time) this will not work. Now in my query I am having to add all sorts of checks to make sure the address is valid. I have wasted my whole morning playing games with this tag. One of these hours now my query will check every possible problem and deliver a perfect set of approx 6000 email addresses to CFMAIL. Why should I have to do this when the mail server would do it for me? Nobody really knows. Thanks for your help.

In order to use the QUERY attribute of the CFMAIL tag, you have to pass it a valid CFQUERY name that *that has already run.* So if you fix your AND-ing problem to OR, then you will be passing a query that should only have an e-mail address in it -- no NULLs and no blank strings.

RE: CFMAIL TO param problems with large queries
thats the right track though, i'd loop over your query with a proper email regex. Where it doestn match, output the record key. Then you should be able to make short work of the problem records.
