ColdFusion v7 to v8 Mail Settings Changes

Noticed that in version 8 that the options for 'Backup Mail Servers' and 'Mail Delivery Threads' have been removed. Is there a reason for this? Will CF 8 automatically allocate the necessary number of threads? Also, is it still possible to define backup mail servers some other way? Thanks.

    Yup, apparently you do.

    I just applied our CF8 license to my developer CF install and the back up mail server field made an apperance.  It was not there before I applied the license key.

    Hi,

    Now I am confused, as CF7 shows the same thing in it's docs as well:

    http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/7/htmldocs/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=ColdFusion_Documentation&file=00001710.htm#1139855

    However, when I install either CF7 Standard or Enterprise I have the 'Backup Mail Servers' and 'Mail Delivery Threads' options available to me. But, in CF8, when I install either Standard or Enterprise, I never see these options in either.

    Now, keep in mind that this is for evaluation, so I have yet to apply a license and use it in production, so maybe it has something to do with that? Does it need a valid license for those options to be available in CF8 now?
