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.

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.

I can send fine to any email address from the account I set up t...@mycompany.com mailto:t...@mycompany.com I'm doing a cfoutput query=emails and sending an email out to the people in my query. The emails are valid. However, only the people on the local Exchange server receive them. Anyone outside doesn't get them. I tested with my gmail account and I don't receive the email. But I get it on my exchange account. I tested and can send to my gmail account from the t...@mycompany.commailto:t...@mycompany.com directly no problems. My Cold Fusion server is on a different server than my Exchange server. I've tested the mail settings in the Cold fusion admin and tried with and without TLS and the settings are fine. By default, your Exchange server won't proxy SMTP messages. You have to specifically configure it to do so. Messages to Exchange mailboxes on that server don't need to be proxied, so they get delivered. Thanks for the info, but my Exchange server is set up to send to the outside world. My send connector type is SMTP. I even tried relaying through my ISP as a smart host and still no sending to outside addresses from my Cold fusion Server. 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. In any case, you can verify this easily enough yourself. Open a telnet connection to your Exchange server from your CF server's console, and try to send an email that way. Google smtp telnet for more information on how to do that.

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.

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
So are you saying that some emails with no body are sending? You should test this to be sure. I would still change these emails if I were you and add a body as it seems that solves the issue.

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.

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. All other emails go through fine, but certain emails will never go out and end up in the 'Undelivr' folder.

Re: CFMail alternative
Russ, I think you have missed my point. There are thousands of posts on the Adobe Forums, where people have documented that they have some issue or another, where often they haven't even tried to dig down to the true core of those issues. There are many times where someone says this doesn't work, and place the blame in the wrong direction. I'm not saying that this is the case here, I'm just saying that, in my experience these problems typically exist outside of the application server. Not saying there aren't hiccups, or that things have always been perfect, but I am saying this requires full examination before pointing fingers. I am also saying that, personally, I have always discovered that these issues are not in the app server, but in some external system or process.

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 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.

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.

The certificate should have nothing to do with the actual content of the email, and is just used to establish an encrypted connection. That said, if you're looking at the headers sent before the encrypted connection is established, you might not see anything beyond the standard 7-bit transfer encoding that SMTP supports. ESMTP and 8-bit MIME are required for more complex transfer encodings. I suspect you don't really get to see that information before the encrypted connection is established.

I should add that this may not do anything to fix your problem of respooling, however it may minimize the failures in the first place.

Re: cfmail issue
thanks Michael, but I am already doing that with gmail, it is in fact required to use TLS. But this issue is not specific to gmail, the problem occurs with ANY SMTP server where you pass the auth details in the CFMAIL tag. It of course works fine if I specify the server and auth details in the cfadmin mail settings as these will be used for re-spooled emails as well, but alas I cannot do that as each customer/website needs to use their own outgoing SMTP server. ~| 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:347963 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Re: cfmail doesn't work for cferror tag
I think cferror may be limited as to what you can put in the error template, my memory is quite rusty but I think this is to avoid you causing an error in the error template. how about if you set error.cfm as the default error template in the cfadmin, does it work then ?

Re: CFMAIL isn't working at all
I find CFMAIL issues amongst the most difficult to debug, because you get such vague or even non-existent indications of problems.Often the only indication you get that your CFMAIL is wrong, is you dont receive any email. [A] I would check that you have all the required settings for your mail server. For example, in our system, the username is the full complete email address, not just the part to the left of the @. [B] Check that you have the server= attribute and the username= and password= correct in the CFMAIL tag. Our system blocks any mail coming from anywhere that doesnt have the correct authentication to prevent spammers exploiting our mail server. Yours may well be the same. Your support people at eworks.in will be able to tell you this. [C] check that you have no syntax errors in the message. If your message is built using coldfusion, and you have an error in your code there, you'll not get an error message, you'll just get nothing at all. I would verify that you can indeed send emails using CFMAIL by sending one with a very simple content like TEST to eliminate this as a possible culprit. [D] check that your isp doesnt block some ports. My isp (iinet.net.au) for example, blocks port 25 by default to help reduce hacking, but can be enabled if you need it (we do in order to pass mail through to the remote mail server). In this case, I think you're not making a connection to the server, but once you get through that obstacle, the others may well show themselves too. I think the most likely is [D] above. Hope this helps.

Doesn't CentOS come with a firewall enabled by default? That, and maybe IPTables? If your connection won't verify, I doubt that mail will ever go out.

just don't ever receive the test mail:
cfset mailAttributes = {

Re: cfmail with gmail - second question
Did you try putting ALL the attributes into the attributeCollection?
Even the port and useSSL ?? I just read that it is an all or
nothing collection.

Re: cfmail through google
To my knowledge there is no way to use cfmail with gmail on CF7. The appropriate hooks (TLS/SSL) were not added into cfmail until CF8. Thanks to everyone for the help. ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Re: cfmail through google
To my knowledge there is no way to use cfmail with gmail on CF7. The appropriate hooks (TLS/SSL) were not added into cfmail until CF8. About the only way to do this as far as I can see is to use the javaMail packages from Sun to access GMail under CFMX 7. see http://java.sun.com/products/javamail/ I have some old code at home that did something similar. I'll see if I can dig it up and post it. hth, larry ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Re: cfmail through google
There's a cfjavamail tag for railo that should be easy to modify to work with CF7. http://trac.getrailo.org/railotags/wiki/CfJavaMail There is a folder with some mxunit tests that work for GMail a couple directories up in the repo (link to source is at the top of the wiki page). :den -- I do not know whether there are gods, but there ought to be.
