The FAILTO parameter will send the message to you if it doesn't actually deliver due to an error, but in order for that to happen it has to get an SMTP-based error message from the recipient mailserver (or the local SMTP daemon if it's a localized error). In short, if for some reason the messages are 'stuck' in the spool the FAILTO parameter won't help at all because the message will never actually 'fail', just be stuck in limbo.

How long will it stay in limbo? Could be until CF realizes the message can't deliver, or it could be forever as it was in the case of old school CF5, where the spool just stopped working for no apparent reason. Nowadays though with CF8 the spool will generally behave as expected and you won't see messages in limbo like this, but just so you know the only real way to be certain what happened to a message is to check the CF spool log for the 'delivered' message and/or search the active queue and undeliverable queue for your message to see what happened to it.

Hi,

Ray's "SpoolMail" can do that for you.

Hi NineCooL,

Please add an attribute in the cfmail tag (failto ="test@domain.com") If the mail has not delivered to your to address it will return to your failto (test@domain.com) address
