Dealing with Undeliverable Emails - CFMX

[cfdeveloper]

Hi there, I'm working on a undelivered email tracking application. I have CFMX installed on my pc. I want to check if there are any undelivered emails in the "Undelivr" folder. If true and provided the last modified date of the file in the undeliverable directory is older than 1 day, I want to delete it, else I want to move it to the spool directory.

I also want to check if there is any file in the "spool" folder that is 0 KB, and if there is I want to delete it.

I found this really intutive article:

http://www.cfm-resources.com/resources/tutorials/view.cfm?tID=7

It is for CF 5 and below versions.

I don't see the "Mail" key in the registry on the server.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Allaire\ColdFusion\CurrentVersion\Mail

I was wanting to know if ColdFusion MX stores this differently? Is it ok to create a new key under "CurrentVersion" calling it "Mail" and giving it the full directory path?

I would apprecaite your help.
Best regards,

I would imagine that for MX the registry entries would be under something like HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Macromedia\CFusionMX

As far as creating new keys goes, I'm not even going to touch that one! Any time you touch the registry you're flirting with disaster...



Hope This Helps!

What's the point? If you are going to supply the path yourself then why not hard code it into the script?

As Ecobb mentioned, don't play about with the registry unless you know what you are doing. The fact that you are asking if it is ok should tell you not to touch it.

Hope this helps
