CFPOP and attachementpath

[jd77]

Hello,

I'm getting an error (below), when I try to execute CFPOP with the attachementpath specified.
e.g.) attachmentpath="c:\mydir\temp"

Here is what I know...
1) When a non-existant directory is specified for the attachementpath, I get the results in error1 (below)
2) When the directory specified is valid, I get the error in error2 (below)
3) When I eliminate the attachementpath parameter completely, everything works just fine (except that I don't get attachements, of course)
4) I suspect that there may be some protection that I need to address, or that I have to update something on my system (I am running Windows 2000 workstation with Coldfusion 4.5 server).

Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,

Joe

I believe you're experiencing one of the known bugs with CFPOP. I've seen a number of bugs with CFPOP and CFMAIL and this seems to be one of the latest. Check out

Good Luck,

Thanks for the input, and your right in a way...

I was running 4.5.0 server. I upgraded to service pack 2 (SP2) and it works fine img. Just took a guess!!!
