I tried sending a message to a fairly large list of email addresses using cfmail. I got an error message b/c one of the email addresses had some improper characters in it. This was about half way through my list of email addresses. Should I assume that the email was sent to all email addresses before this one, and none after it?

Write a scrubber to check to make sure you emails are wellformed as well, it wont eliminate all the problems but it will help.. I had 1.4 million in one database, I scrubbed them for missing "@" and missing extentions, duplications etc and ended up tossing 40,000 emails that failed...

Just use this IsEmail() udf:

Code:
<cfloop query="get_email">
<cfif IsEmail(YourQueryValue)>
<cfmail>...</cfmail>
</cfif>
</cfloop>Hope This Helps!

My two cents would be to take ECAR's suggestion and wrap the code within <cftry><cfcatch>. For whatever reason the mailing fails in <cfcatch> email the error or log into the dB.
<cftry>
<cfloop query="get_email">
<cfif IsEmail(YourQueryValue)>
<cfmail>...</cfmail>
</cfif>
</cfloop>
<cfcatch type="any">
<!--- either lof the error or email the error. If emailing the error do a <cfdump> so you have all the info you need to help debug --->
</cfcatch>
<cftry>
Just don't assume the mailing failed cause of a invalid email syntax.

One thing though, I would do [color]type="html"[/color] so you see the table columns, rows and color style.
<cfcatch type="any">
<cfmail to="me" from="me" subject="Error" type="html">
<cfdump var="#cfcatch#" />
</cfmail>
</cfcatch>
