Re: cfmail causing problems for our server
Mandrill is excellent. We've used it for a while. Just whack their smtp server into the cf admin and off you go. It's more customisable than that of course, but the base function of running your mail through their servers should do the job.

Re: cfmail causing problems for our server
My recommendation would be to have them create a MailChimp or Vertical Response (Constant Contact, Exact Target, etc.) account and just send emails through their API. VRs API is especially easy to send custom HTML through (http://developers.verticalresponse.com/docs/read/api_reference/emails ). Then you can also ensure CAN-SPAM compliance as well. If youre using a CMS to send the mail through, then you might need to create a module to hook in to the main mailing list feature, but the long-term result would be better.

There are plenty of infrastructure monitoring applications and 3rd party services out there for monitoring your production servers (including the services). My company uses PRTG for performance/service monitoring (http://www.paessler.com/prtg) to cover all of our different servers. Im mostly responsible for the health of our CF servers though and FusionReactor works great for me. If you set it up correctly, it can notify you of service availability changes. None of the above actual means that a server was ³rebooted² though and a CF service stopping/starting also doesn¹t mean that someone manually triggered it. Also, keep in mind that something running ON the server that is supposed to send you this email is probably not going to work if its running on the service you are trying to monitor.

Re: onApplicationStart and cfmail, when doess server start?
That is correct behavior. An application does not start until a page within its scope is requested. You have a few options though. Use onServerStart (CF 9+). Use another server to monitor it. Use a third party program such as FusionReactor. I highly recommend it and it's well worth the money spent.

Re: onApplicationStart and cfmail, when doess server start?
The next thing that comes to mind is to parse the CF server.log file for the instance you are targeting. There are log entries for stopping and starting in there. But I¹m guessing you are wanting this to be used as an alert not post-portem investigation. There are plenty of infrastructure monitoring applications and 3rd party services out there for monitoring your production servers (including the services). My company uses PRTG for performance/service monitoring (http://www.paessler.com/prtg) to cover all of our different servers. Im mostly responsible for the health of our CF servers though and FusionReactor works great for me. If you set it up correctly, it can notify you of service availability changes. None of the above actual means that a server was ³rebooted² though and a CF service stopping/starting also doesn¹t mean that someone manually triggered it. Also, keep in mind that something running ON the server that is supposed to send you this email is probably not going to work if its running on the service you are trying to monitor.

RE: cfmail Exchange 2010
Dave I want to thank you for your help. I resolved the issue. Because my Exchange server and CF server are on different machines I had to create a new receive connector allowing relay from the IP address of my CF server. Out of the box, Exchange doesn't allow any relay from a remote machine. Your note made me realize this and I was able to resolve it: That doesn't mean that any server can relay through your Exchange server (I hope!). Typically, you have to enable relay for each individual IP address that you want to allow. Have a great weekend.

RE: cfmail Exchange 2010
We had an exchange server once and it was a nightmare and the guy who was supposed to manage it had clearly bitten off more thsn he could chew and barely knew what he was doing and it was falling over all the time. I spent a few days working on it and would have tore my hair out if if I had any. I have worked with many mail servers over the years and exchange makes simple things complicated, tskes 100 times longer to do anything and many things cannot even be done via the gui. Everything seems to be a bolt on after thought. We moved to google apps and never looked back. I now use hmail or smarter mail for smtp which is stress free.

By default the form field will only exist if the checkbox is checked, so you could do: Subscribe to newsletter? cfoutput#yesNoFormat(isDefined(form.mailList))#/cfoutput As an aside, in the anti-spam and e-mail deliverability communities it is generally considered a bad practice to have these sorts of options checked by default. -Justin On Fri, Jun 28, 2013 at 9:16 AM, Robert Sneed robertsn...@rhsneed.com wrote: I hope someone can help me with this.

Re: CFMail Issues since Upgrading to CF10
Yes, we regularly send out emails to both internal and external users with no body in the email. The only content that it includes is an attachment and subject. But I guess it might be a good thing to include content from here on end, especially if it falls within the rules of RFC email compliance. Occasionally, I've seen this error happen right after a failed connectivity issue with ColdFusion and the SMTP server. If any emails just so happen to be in queue during the time of the SMTP connection error, then the mails in the spool folder all get sent to the Undeliverable folder. Then when our custom script kicks in to re-spool, it goes right back to undeliverable folder. The error in the logs gives us the same message about the body missing.

Re: CFMail Issues since Upgrading to CF10
Hmmm, if it is enforced then why so randomly? I would've expected this to occur on every instance. You do bring up a good point though in terms of reaching external users who may have rules that are a bit more strict than the norm. Except, this seems to occur locally before it can even hit externally. it is actually an RFC that an email must have a body, so I suspect that is now enforced in javax.mail.which is a good thing, as this means it is RFC compliant. As you have said that adding a body to these messages makes them send, then you have already found the solution, just add a body to the original emails. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:356010 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

CFMail Issues since Upgrading to CF10
Ever since upgrading to CF10, we've been having some odd issues with our automated ColdFusion emails. The processes always functioned properly in the past, but lately we've been getting some very out of the ordinary issues which I'll describe further below. We discover the problem usually from contacts who usually receive these emails on a daily basis with or without attachments. We'll go to the CFMAIL directory for the corresponding server and find a slew of emails stuck in the 'Undelivr' emails. In some cases, we can just move these emails to the Spool folder and they process fine, but in most cases they result in one of the two errors below: Error 1: In an email which normally does not contain a body and contains an attachment, the follow error is what we found in the logs: - Error,scheduler-1,01/15/13,14:09:56,,javax.mail.MessagingExce ption: missing body for message javax.mail.MessagingException: missing body for message at coldfusion.mail.MailImpl.createMessage(MailImpl.java:696) at coldfusion.mail.MailSpooler.deliver(MailSpooler.java:1295) at coldfusion.mail.MailSpooler.sendMail(MailSpooler.java:1197) at coldfusion.mail.MailSpooler.deliverFast(MailSpooler.java:1657) at coldfusion.mail.MailSpooler.run(MailSpooler.java:1567) at coldfusion.scheduling.ThreadPool.run(ThreadPool.java:211) at coldfusion.scheduling.WorkerThread.run(WorkerThread.java:71) --- Placing these emails that have always been sent out this way in the past without an attachment in the spool directory causes it to go right back in the 'Undelivr' folder and resulting in the same error. We ended up having to modify the email file and add random content in the body message, place it back in the spool directory, and it went through. - Mind boggling. Error 2: -- Error,scheduler-2,02/04/13,09:08:17,,javax.mail.MessagingExce ption: Exception reading response; nested exception is: java.net.SocketException: Connection reset Both errors occur randomly and we have not been able to find out what causes them randomly from time to time.

Re: CFMail alternative
it has been shown on all the reported instances I saw that the mails in question never reached the smtp server as did not show in the mail logs on the server despite cf saying hey were sent, and were not in undelivered folder, they simply vanished. So if you have one log file that says CF sent the message successfully, and another log file that says that your mail server didn't receive a message, why do you assume that the mail server log is right and the CF log is wrong? I mean, there's a big difference between just failing to deliver a message, and both failing to deliver a message but also logging that the message was sent! I can think of one case where I've run into a similar issue, and the root case was a spam filtering measure on the recipient server. CF said it had been sent, but the recipient system (Postini) did not list it. It turned out to be a feature in Postini called Blatant Spam Blocking which caused the incoming message to be dropped and not delivered or even logged by Postini.

Re: CFMail alternative
Dozens is literally nothing out of 800k per day. Imagine saying you are aware of every tv show on every channel, every day, how would you know of a glitch or disruption in any of those programmes unless you are watching them all or someone tells you. Even if someone told you about a couple of channels, there are hundreds of others you are still unaware of. The chances of you being aware of or told of every missing email when you send large qualtities is almost impossible. So anyone certainly could have this issue without realising. I am not saying that you do have this issue, simply that you could. If you check the Adobe forums you will see those other reports I mentioned of this same issue.

RE: CFMail alternative
Other people do have this issue and have had this issue, it is documented on the Adobe forums Could you send a link to that? I ask because we have a custom built email module that uses CFMAIL. It works much like Constant Contact. It let's users build mailers from templates, send bulk mail (ten or thousands per site), tracks the opens, tracks clicks, etc. We have it deployed on more than 50 sites and there is an open rate and click trough rate similar to or even higher than what we normally get from a campaign running Constant Contact. There have sometimes been problems but we've always trace them to spam filters, blacklists, or something not CF related. If there's a problem with CFMAIL and not a problem with server management or the typical mail server issues, I'd like to review it. I have hundreds of thousands mails running through CFMAIL and too much at stake not to be aware of a CF problem... so far I've seen no indication of a problem with CFMAIL, but new information is always appreciated.

getting CFMAIL to dance with Microsoft Exchange
Before anyone says OH MY GOD...MICROSOFT EXCHANGE..WHY??!! It's what my company uses I can't change it :) All I'm trying to do is get my ColdFusion server to talk to the mail server, which happens to be Exchange. The user names that they are giving me are in the form domain\username and a password. Every combination I've tried has gotten a connection refused error. Does the Exchange server, or the account need to be configured in a certain way for this to work? thanks -- Scott Stewart Adobe Certified Expert / Instructor ColdFusion 8, 9 ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:353769 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
RE: getting CFMAIL to dance with Microsoft Exchange
OH MY GOD...MICROSOFT EXCHANGE Exchange is a great mail system and CF integrates with it quite well. Configuration is a bear but once done it works great. It's most likely security settings or allowed connections on the Exchange server; could also be settings on the domain server. For that you may need a MCSE to give you a hand.

Re: getting CFMAIL to dance with Microsoft Exchange
By default exchange uses mapi, you will pron need to ask your sysadmin to enable imap so cf can talk to it. Also the username may be any of these depending how exchange is setup.

Every combination I've tried has gotten a connection refused error. Does the Exchange server, or the account need to be configured in a certain way for this to work? Are you just trying to use CFMAIL? If so, the Exchange server may need to be configured to accept SMTP connections from your server. If you're trying to do something else, like read mail, you might need to use CFEXCHANGE for MAPI access.

question about lists and CFMAIL

CFMAIL Not getting to mail server
Hello All, I recently migrated to CF 9 from 7, and there seems to be an issue with not all cfmail messages going out. I an not getting any errors, and the log files in CF actually show the messages in the mail sent log, but there is no trace of them after that on my mail server or the client end. This problem did not start happening until after I migrated to CF9, and there have been no changes in the code or environment beyond that. This does not happen to all messages, but it happens often enough that is a problem. Does anyone have any ideas of how to fix this issues. I found some threads about this issue and other people experiencing it, but no solutions or help from Adobe on a permanent fix.

Re: CFMAIL Not getting to mail server
If the mail log doesn't show the messages as being bounced and undeliverable (and the messaged don't end up in the cfmail\undelivr folder in your ColdFusion install directory), then the problem is likely with your downstream mail server, not with ColdFusion. Did you propagate the same SMTP server settings from your CF7 install to your CF9 install? -Carl V.

How do I code French accents in a CFMail (HTML format) ?
I have a bilingual website and on the French side I need to send out a standard email that includes some accented characters.

Re: CFMAIL Problem with new TLDs
On CF9, cfmail seems to be having a problem sending email to some of the newer address, like som...@sprucegrove.ca . This is a valid email address, but CF9 CFMAIL is chocking on this and a other valid addresses that use the newer two character TLDs. If I try to send to that address, CFMAIL bombs and halts. If I wrap it in CFTRY with a CFCATCH to show me the failures, it's failing on several of the new TLDs. Does anyone know if there is a patch for this or something? This is almost certainly a problem with the SMTP server you're using, rather than CF. You can easily verify this sort of thing (and generally debug SMTP problems) by using a telnet session on your CF server to attempt to connect and send a message through your SMTP server.

CF will try to send an email to any address you give it, even a complete nonsense address, it is the SMTP server that will reject it. I have never had any issues sending emails to 2 letter TLD's such as .co or .ca So you should firstly investigate DNS and SMTP issues On Thu, Sep 27, 2012 at 3:10 PM, Robert Harrison rob...@austin-williams.com wrote: On CF9, cfmail seems to be having a problem sending email to some of the newer address, like som...@sprucegrove.ca .

Re: cfmail settings
if your CFMAIL tags are specifying a SERVER then you do not need anything in the cfadmin. If they are not specifying a server thent hey will us ethe cfadmin settings, so you need to set them.

You are confusing requests here. If the file, employment-application.cfm, includes a script tag that points to a CFM, that's a _second_ request, not the same as the first one. If it requests something like javascript.cfm, then your onRequestStart needs to recognize that too.

RE: How to prevent cfhtmlhead content from being inserted into cfmail...
If the file, employment-application.cfm, includes a script tag that points to a CFM... It doesn't. Here are the files involved: 1) employment-application.cfm 2) application.cfc 2) employment-application-form-processing.js 3) employment-application.cfc employment-application.cfm has the above js file included via a script link. The js file has an AJAX call to a method in employment-application.cfc for processing the form contained in the .cfm above. employment-application.cfc, as well as processing the form, also sends a couple of cfmail messages, if processing is successful. After successful processing of the form and sending of the cfmail messages in the cfc method, JSON is sent back to the AJAX call in the js file, which then, as the final step, should change the processing message the user sees on the form to a success message. But because the JSON includes more than just the message FORMSTATUS:SUCCESS in its content, which is the js script from the onRequestStart method in the application.cfc, the js won't complete the last step. I'm just trying to find a way to prevent the js script that gets inserted into the head of each page from being included in the JSON data returned. I don't need the js variables that are included via the onRequestStart for the employment-application.cfm page, so I was trying to find a way to prevent application.cfc from processing the js variables if the requesting page is employment-application.cfm. Your suggestion to use cfif listLast(thepage, '/') is not employment-application.cfm /cfif worked fine, to bypass the CF code processing the application.cfc, but the js script contained inside the conditional statement still shows up in the JSON. Either the conditional statement above won't afffect the inclusion script/script tag contained in the onRequestStart method or the AJAX call from the js file to the employment-application.cfc method also triggers the onRequestStart method and that causes the JSON to include the js script code. Perhaps I should try cfif listLast(thepage, '/') is not employment-application.cfc /cfif and see if that works. I'll give that a try. Does any of this make sense?

RE: How to prevent cfhtmlhead content from being inserted into cfmail...
Perhaps I should try cfif listLast(thepage, '/') is not employment-application.cfc /cfif and see if that works. That seems to have worked, on the initial test. The JSON response doesn't include the js script tags and content as it did when I used employment-application.cfm, instead of the .cfc above. I hadn't thought that the employment-application.cfc file would be considered the requesting file by the onRequestMethod when the method in employment-application.cfc involved ran. That being the case, I can understand how the js script gets included in the JSON, because the onRequestStart cfoutput's the js script in order to assign value to the CF variables using ##'s inside the js script. i.e. cfoutput script type=text/javascript var js_client_dsn = '#client_dsn#'; /script /cfoutput I don't *think* that I can assign the value to the var without using cfoutput and the ##'s around the CF variables. The only thing I know at this point for sure is that I have a working solution to the form processing for an impatient client. So, this hack will have to stand for now. Now to see if this works on the production site. :o) Rick -Original Message- From: Rick Faircloth [mailto:r...@whitestonemedia.com] Sent: Wednesday, May 23, 2012 8:55 AM To: cf-talk Subject: RE: How to prevent cfhtmlhead content from being inserted into cfmail...

cfmail to Exchange using TLS
I am developing a solution for my company to be able to send email from our CF 8 application using TLS for security reasons and have a couple things that I would like to get clarified. I looked at the headers of the emails sent by my solution and I noticed that the transfer encoding was only 7 bit. The certificate that we are using on the development box is self signed so I am hoping that is the reason for the low encoding level, but I'm not sure. What I would like to clarify is the following: 1. Is the self signed certificate the reason for the encoding level? 2. Will a genuine certificate from a reputable source improve the encoding level? 3. Do I need to install a certificate somewhere in ColdFusion? 4. Is this a limitation of the CF 8 cfmail tag? 5. Is this something that needs to be addressed on the Exchange server? 6. Am I off the mark on this completely? I have no experience sending secured email from CF so any help or advice would be appreciated.

Re: cfmail to Exchange using TLS
The encryption level is determined by the cert. You can generate any type of cert yourself and it will do the same job but it will not be trusted in a browser is not provided by a known ca. The encryption is done by the cert on the mailserver so nothing to install on cf side. Why type of cert did you generate?
