I log it to a db. All you need is a to,from,subject,body,attachments columns and a column to hold when you want it to send. The just have a schedule checking the db every minute or so

The site sends a few dozen emails a day to its users, but one or two of them have to be delayed until a future trigger. The send is triggered by user action, so it can't be a scheduled task - the most obvious solution is for the page to construct the email, save its details to a db table, and set up a scheduled task which checks for emails which are due to be sent and creates them... but that seems a bit cumbersome. I'd love to be able to use cfmail to create an email, but save it to a file instead of the spool folder, then use cffile to shift it when i'm ready to send it. but i think that's optimistic... Does anyone have any suggestions for building a simple email scheduler? nsdfwer -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "cfaussie" group.
