CF8 Email Spooling Problem

Is anyone having the issue where email just decides to stop sending from
coldfusion? It will process just fine for months at a time, then just stop.
The only way I have found to make email start processing again is to reboot the
server.

Does anyone know if there is a fix?

Here are some other cases:

Could be the result of this problem with Coldfusion's in-built mail spool lock, discussed in Steven Erat's blog. Note Tom Jordahl's comment towards the end.

Here is the original one for the old CF days.

You may need to change some parameters to detect the CF mail directory.

I know this is not a real answer but would be a workaround.

Hi,

You can give a try to this script provided in the link given below. Just place this script in the JRun scheduler and timely execute it. I think that will resolve the problem. Link is

As I know/searched there is no defined bug for cfmail etc. for the CF8.

What I would suggest is to create a script which checks the directory "CFROOT\Mail\Undelivr" and move all files to the "CFROOT\Mail\Spool" directory. You can create a scheduled task for this script.

As I remember there was a script from Rob Brooks Bilson just for this purpose. Let me check it.

What is CF version?

Do you have SMTP server settings on CF admin or in the code?
