I'm using a cfmail tag to send out a email with one attachment. I'm experiencing some problems sometimes the mail is sent other times it not. I'm not sure if this a problem with the tag itself or with the SMTP server. Does anyone have any suggestion? I have used this tag in about a half dozen other sites hosted with different companies and have had no problem. I was looking around on the web and found a bunch of issue with the cfmail tag . My current set-up is a shared w2k server at INTERLAND and cf 4.5.
Thanks
 
Try to find out if the message is getting sent to the SMTP relay host. You will need someone with access to CF Administrator and/or access to the log and mail folders on the host machine. After running your page that sends email, look in the mail\spool directory to see the spooled file. Make sure that it disappears within the time set in CF administrator for the periodic processing of mail. When it disappears, look in the UNDELIVR directory to see if it was undeliverable. If it's there, open the message with a text editor to see what the problem might be. The CF administrator may want to turn on mail logging to aid in this.
