CFPOP Sorting, CFMAIL Sending 1

[webmigit]

Writing a webmail app... couple of questions.

I want to sort with cfpop.. now the tag itself doesn't do this, is there a way to file it into arrays somehow, that can be sorted? So that I can sort by from ASC, from DESC, subject ASC, etc.

I want to send mail with cfmail.. done this before, easy enough, but cfmail is like the black sheep of the Cold Fusion tag family.. fair amount of functionality but not very reliable.. However, I've heard you can write to the mail spool using CFFile.. has anyone done this? What data do I need to write and in what format?

Thanks,

Cfmail is fine as long as its passed *valid* email addresses format - sometimes sending an invalid email address format(e.g. somename.com@ ) can wreck havok between cf and the mail server also I've heard that the mail server's IP address should be used instead of a domain name. Problems with the reliabilty of cf appear when you want to email large numbers of emails (e.g. 40000).

There is a custom tag to do exactly what you want to do (bypass cfmail and do it yourself).
