does cfmail process sending files

[olmos]

I need to send out email using a specific file for
each email. For example, I have 5 recipients each have a unique file
located on the server that needs to be included in the body of the email sent, not as an attachment. I have the recipient's email information in a database and can query this information. I also have the list of filenames in a file that need to match the recipient's name for each file that gets sent out.

How do I go about doing something like this ?

Thanks,

yes, see cfmailparam

Beware of programmers who carry screwdrivers.

cfmailparam seems to add the file as an attachment, is there another way to put it in the email message instead .

and how can I loop over all the filenames to put each file with there respective recipient ?

thanks,
olmos.

Do it as a series if IF/ELSE statements. If each filename is associated with an email address then query the email and filename and enter the message in the body depending on the criteria.

EX:

<cfif email eq "email1@isp.com" and filename eq "file1">
  <cfmail from="" to="" subject="email1">#message#</cfmail>
<cfelseif email eq "email2@isp.com" and filename eq "file2">
  <cfmail from="" to="" subject="email2">#message#</cfmail>
<cfelseif email eq "email3@isp.com" and filename eq "file3">
  <cfmail from="" to="" subject="email3">#message#</cfmail>
</cfif>
