Cfmail

when i send mail using cfmail and under cfmail i add this
cfmailpart tag......
after i add this cfmailpart tag..if will automatically attach
an empty .txt file......
how to solve it????
thx to answer my question

cfmail does not send mail. It puts files in a spool
directory. From there, either the mail gets sent and the files
disappear, or the files go to an undelivered directory. In some, if
not all cases, the person in the "from" attribute, will get
notified in the mail is not sent.
Another approach might be to assume all the mail was sent,
unless informed otherwise.

Cfmail - works locally but not when uploaded

Hi,
I'm using cfmail with form variables for the email addreses.
It's so users can send email to political candidates. Here's the
code:
<cfoutput>#Form.semails#</cfoutput>,<cfoutput>#Form.hemails#</cfoutput>
<cfmail to="#Form.semails#,#Form.hemails#"
replyto="#Form.useremail#" failto="[email protected]"
from="#Form.useremail#" subject="Keep Maine Toxin-Free!"
server="mail.nosuch.com" port="26" timeout="40"
username="[email protected]" password="nosuch">
#Form.usermessage#
</cfmail>
The form submit page collects those variables and passes them
as form variables - GET. The "to" field in cfmail is populated by
hidden fields that contain session variables... they're forwarded
on as those .semails and .hemails form variables. Actual values
have been replaced with "none" or "nosuch" for security, but you
can see the structure anyway.
This works when run locally, sends the emails as it should.
When uploaded exactly as is to godaddy's server, it doesn't send
emails. Doesn't throw any errors, the form results page displays as
it should... but the emails just never get sent.
I'd really appreciate any ideas...

Unfortunately all that can't be done by us users of these
shared hosting
outfits. You'll need to contact GoDaddy support and ask them
to take
these steps. I'm sorry about your probably experience with
this.
While I use GoDaddy for my personal hosting where I care more
about not
spending a great deal of money over high performance. I do
not wish my
support experiences on anybody. If you know ColdFusion well
and can
tell support what needs to be done, they should be able to do
it. Or,
more likely, you would be able to figure out the self help
tools to do
it yourself. But, unless this has changed since my last
experience,
their support staff is not ColdFusion literate and are unable
to guide
other, inexperienced ColdFusion users.
Saying all that. Email works just fine on my GoDaddy website
and I do
not believe I had to do anything special to use it.

How to use cfmail without specifying username and password??

Hi pp,
i have been trying to use the cfmail functionality to send and receive e-mails connecting to the smtp server of <MyUniversity>
i am creating a page where, at the end a e-mail has to be sent from <[email protected]> to <[email protected]>
i am connecting with the univ server from the cf server to test whether the e-mails are delivered.
the e-mails are sent only if i mention the <Username> and <Password> fields belonging to the <[email protected]>
for my test case i used my own id and the if i set the username and pwd, the e mails are sent, otherwise the emails are not getting delivered.
can someone suggest why this is happening and i have to make sure that at the end of launching the site, i dont have to get the username and password, because i will not be given access to it as a developer.
Please suggest me wat to do.
i am using the simple cfmail function.
<cfmail
 server="smtp.<univ>.edu"
 port="25"
 from="[email protected]"
 username="[email protected]"
 password="**********"
 to="[email protected]"
 subject="testing testing">
 <testing the mail functionalities>
</cfmail>

Use :
Properties prop = System.getProperties();
prop.put("proxySet","true");
prop.put("http.proxyHost","yourProxy");
prop.put("http.proxyPort","8080"); // change the port
//prop.put("https.proxyHost","yourProxy");
//prop.put("https.proxyPort","8080"); // change the port

Using a radio button in cfmail / form.

Hello;
This is a silly question, but I can't remember how to program in radio buttons for a cfmailer. I have 3 radio buttons, basically, I just need to know what the users choice was when they checked it off. The following is my radio buttons and what I have for code right now. But I'm not grabbing the proper variable, I also tried dumping a few diffrerent variables to see if I could get it.
<input name="type" type="radio" onClick="setVisibility('sub3', 'inline');setVisibility('sub4','none');setVisibility('sub5','none');" value='male' checked="checked"/>Magnets
<input type="radio" name="type" value='female' onClick="setVisibility('sub3', 'none');setVisibility('sub4','inline');setVisibility('sub5', 'none');"/>Paper Steel
<input type="radio" name="type" value='child' onClick="setVisibility('sub3', 'none');setVisibility('sub4','none');setVisibility('sub5', 'inline');"/> both
on my response page, I tried this:
<cfif form.type EQ "male">
if this was their choice, then this set of rules would apply
</cfif>
and so on for the other two choices. This isn't catching my buttons, what am I doing wrong? do I need to make a paramiter for the radio buttons before I can allow it to function? like this?
<cfparam name="FORM.type" default="">
then I can use my if statement? (that isn't working right now either)
here is what I'm trying to dump:
<cfdump var="#form.type#">
<cfabort>
</cfdump>
How do I do this? Can anyone help me?

I suspect that you have a problem in some portion of your code that you have not posted. To help debugging I suggest you create a simple test using two pages: input.cfm and action.cfm. Get the most simple case working then add the javascript, css, and CF code to make your application work.

<html>
<head>
 <title>Input</title>
</head>
<body>
 <form action="action.cfm" method="POST">
 Choose type: 
 <input name="type" type="radio" value="male" /> Male 
 <input name="type" type="radio" value="female" /> Female 
 <input type="submit" />
 </form>
</body>
</html>

<html>
<head>
 <title>Action</title>
</head>
<body>
 <cfif form.type eq "male">
 Type is male.
 <cfelseif form.type eq "female">
 Type is female.
 </cfif>
 Here is a cfdump of the form variables: 
 <cfdump var="#form#" />
</body>
</html>

CFMAIL Any Faster In CF8? How many mails per minute?

Hi there,
We are currently running CF 7.02 and are considering
upgrading to 8.
I've seen lots of articles extolling the speed increases in
CF8 over 7 etc. but I wondered if there was much of a performance
increase in regards to CFMAIL?
We send out vast quantities of emails every day and at busy
times CFMAIL struggles to keep up. Mails seem to be sent out quick
enough to our mail server but it seems to be the physical process
of creating the cfmail files ready for sending that is a little
slow.
I think I read somewhere that under CF7 CFMAIL could create
about 600 CFMAIL files a minute. Does anyone know what the figure
is for CFMAIL under CF8?
Or does anyone have any real world experience of CFMAIL
speeding up or slowing down following an upgrade from CF 7 to 8?
If this is still slow does anyone have any experience of
using third party, dedicated, products to do what CFMAIL does? The
mails we send are stored as entries in our SQL DB and we currently
use CFMAIL to query the DB and produce html and plain text emails
from these entries. Is there anything that we coul use to do that
and take CFMAIL out of the loop?
Cheers,
Tem

Cfmail spool sending one message at a time

I have mx7 standard installed on win 2003 server
a cfmail page sends files to the spool corectly.
The spool is only sending out one message every 60 seconds or
so. Changing the spool interval has no effect.
these need to go out a lot faster than this.
the mail.log is showing this but i'm not sure it's the
problem.

thanks for any help in advance.

I would suggest playing with the other mail specific
settings, such as #of mail delivery threads, but my guess is you've
already messed with these.
Perhaps it has nothing to do with CF, but rather a bottleneck
with the process that is creating the emails. How many emails are
you trying to send?
Is it a query driven mail tag?
Another aspect to check would be the version of JRUN being
used by CF. You might find an update to a newer version of JRUN
would solve the problem.
Given the errors you've listed (SocketTimeout), they seem to
be JAVA specific.
In any case, good luck!

When you submit a form, the name of it doesn't matter. When you process it it's form.this and form.that, not name_of_form.this and name_of_form.that. In your code, the structure event_request does not exist until the cfparam tags create it. All of those tags will create variables with empty strings. Later your code adds a bunch of error messages and doesn't send any mail because of your if/else logic.

Inserting or embed and image into cfmail output from a database-stored path to an actual image.

I am trying to insert or embed and image into cfmail from a database-stored path to an actual image. The actual JPEG image is stored in a folder called "images_personnel". The path to the image under the column titled photopath is stored in my database table as "/file/images_personnel/28.jpg". Displaying the image on the screen renders without a problem, embedding the same image as part of a cfloop query does not insert/embed the image into an email. All of the other output of the same cfloop displays and emails just fine. However none of the photos of each personelle show up. What an I doing wrong?
My code is below:
<cfquery name="Staffreport" datasource="master">
Select staffreport.*, name.personnelid, name.email, name.last, name.noiid, stafflt, CONCAT(name.fname,' ',name.middle,' (',name.last,')') AS teammember, CONCAT(name.fname,' ',name.middle) AS teammember2, concat(name.photopath,'',name.photo)as hisphoto, stafflt.*, trim(concat(ltfname,' ',ltmiddle)) as LT from Staffreport, name, stafflt
where 0=0
and stalt = '#Session.user_id#'
and ltid = '#session.user_id#'
and staweekbegin = <cfqueryparam value="#form.staweekbegin#" cfsqltype="cf_sql_date" />
AND staweekend = <cfqueryparam value="#form.staweekend#" cfsqltype="cf_sql_date" />

You'll need to provide a full URL link to the image ("http://mywebserver/file/images_personnel/28.jpg"), not just a relative path. Remember, the email client that is used to view the email content knows nothing of the internals of your web server - it can only follow a complete URL to get images and other resources.

Cfmail not working. Please help!

I am trying to get this to send an email each time a file is
uploaded. All the fields in the form are updating the database
correctly but the email is never sent and no error message is
generated. Any ideas....please help!!!
<cfif IsDefined("FORM.ID")>
<cfupdate datasource="xxxxxxx" tablename="FTPCatalog">
<cfelse>
<cfinsert datasource="xxxxxxx" tablename="FTPCatalog">
<cfmail to = "#SendTo#"
from = "#EmailAddress#"
subject = "FTP file upload notification!"
server = "mail.server.net" >
A file has been uploaded to the server.
</cfmail>
</cfif>

you do realise that your code as it is in your original post
will only
send email when a NEW RECORD is INSERTED into the db? no
email will be
sent on UPDATE of db because how your cfif/cfelse is
constructed.

CFMail Tag Issue

I have a form on my website that use the cfmail tag to send
information collected from a form via email. I am no longer getting
the email submitted from the form yet I'm also not getting an error
and I haven't changed anything. I suspect it's a relay issue but my
Sys Adm insist it's not and suggest I use mailto: I don't see the
point of using a client side solution when I have a server side
(and probably better) solution already in place.
I have listed the code I'm using to process the form for
reference in case I am missing something. Could anyone shed some
light on this for me. If it's not my code what are the downsides to
using a client side solution such as mailto ?
Thanks

I'm assuming the isDefined leadershipopp and joinassociation
are checkboxes.
But..
If for any reason one of the other form elements wasn't
defined, you'd have an error condition.
Wrap the cfmail tag in a cftry block and then in the cfcatch
email an admin email with the cfcatch.message and cfcatch.detail.
Make sure you validate the form.email format, check cflib.org
for a udf for this. you could also use cfform validation routines.
An invalid email will throw an error.
Additionally, use cfparam tags for each of the form elements
with a default value.

Cfmail file attachements

I want to dynamically attach a document and send via cfmail.I
use various queries to get the recipent names, and unique id info,
then retrieve the document that corresponds.
One cfmail documentation says to use cfparam inside cfmail
and specifiy the full path. Another says to use the mimeattach
attribute with the full path.
This is where I am having the problem. My document
name/variable from my query is #qryName.document#.
How do I set this up with the path, in either cfparam or
mimeattach ?

I understand your code, but I still cannot seem to get the
correct path.
I use this query to find th file that I want as an
attachement to the cfmail :
<cfquery name="qryName" datasource="dbname">
select
uploadFileName
from tableName
where docNo = '#form.DocNo#'
</cfquery>
So the file that was uploaded with this docNo is stored in a
variable named uploadFileName in the specifield table.
What is the full path that I would setup in cfmailparam so
that this documant is an attachemetn in cfmail ?

Problem with vCalendar in CFMail tag

I've created an Outlook meeting invitation using cfmail and vCalendar and it works under normal conditions. But I have an event that is a three-day class. I attempt to create three invitations within the same cfm file, using three diffeent cfmail tags and using different times, subjects, descriptions, and summaries in the vCalendar. But when the three invitations arrive in my Outlook mailbox, Outlook thinks they are all the same event and posts tentative appointment to the last of the three days, but not to day 1 or day 2. Anyone have any clues as to what I'm doing wrong?

Hi there,
I think its because youre using the same UID for all your events. From what I understand, every event needs its own unique reference,
hope that helps.

Trouble with CFMAIL

I'm using CFMail on a Win2k server running IIS and having a
wierd mail problem.
I can send mail to certain email addresses, but not others.
The ones that don't get mail
are *definitely* valid emails, at places like gmail with no
problems in the account.
There's no clear logic to which emails do work and which
don't, but the log shows this for
the ones that don't send out
"Error","scheduler-5","12/04/06","06:41:47",,"Invalid
Addresses; nested exception is: class
javax.mail.SendFailedException: 452 4.2.2 Mailbox full "
"Error","scheduler-5","12/04/06","06:44:04",,"Invalid
Addresses; nested exception is: class
javax.mail.SendFailedException: 452 4.2.2 Mailbox full "
What can I do to find more information out, are there are any
articles/resources or anyone with war-scars that can help explain
this one?
Thanks much
Paul Berry

According to this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_name_system#Internationalised_domain_names,
it's legal to have those sort of characters in a domain name,
but not a
host name.
But according to this:
http://java.sun.com/products/javamail/javadocs/javax/mail/Address.html,
it
sticks to RFC 822 (
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc822.txt),
which doesn't seem
to differentiate between the host part and the domain part of
an address,
and only allows for ASCII 0-127 in the domain name.
So the bottom line is those domain names - for the purposes
of internet
email addressing - aren't actually legal. So - strictly
speaking - it's
correct for CF to reject them.
I would say you're screwed, unless you can find some
alterative emailing
system (not <cfmail>), and use that. But then again,
the alternatives
could quite possibly disallow those addresses too.

Cfmail dash problems

Does coldfusion 7 support having an email address with a dash
in it. ie
[email protected]
I am getting this error in the log.
Invalid Addresses; nested exception is: class
javax.mail.SendFailedException: 501 5.5.4 Invalid Address
This is proving to be a big problem as dealing with many
users who have email addresses in this format.
Is there any workaround - ie converting email address to
ascii ??
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers

FYI...our organization has a dash (-) in the domain name and
have no problems sending email via cfmail.
We're running CFMX7.0.2
Good luck

Dash (-) problems in to param of cfmail tag

Does coldfusion 7 support having an email address with a dash
in it. ie
[email protected]
I am getting this error in the log.
Invalid Addresses; nested exception is: class
javax.mail.SendFailedException: 501 5.5.4 Invalid Address
This is proving to be a big problem as dealing with many

Is there any workaround - ie converting email address to
ascii ??
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers

just put actual string
http://mysite/usermailregistrationpage?code=ADGBDGDFGAXAFADFDA
in the mail body, without surrounding it with <a> or
anything.
if your cfmail type is plain (default) it will be shown as
text, while
more recent email application may automatically show it as
link
(Thunderbird does).

CFMAIL issue in cf8

I have set up the mail connection via CF Admin.
I tested connection and I ahve no problem.
But now when I send any emails where the address is in
format:
[email protected] it fails with invalid address
but if i try [email protected] it send the email with no problem.
So I know that my connection is correct.
In fact, I already CF7 as my production server, but we are
testing this to see if it is worth it for us to
upgrade.
So far this issue is cauing a major issue.
Because many of clients have email format that I specified.
I tested this from my email account from ail server to an
address [email protected], and was able to send it with no problem.
Only when using cfmail, seems to be having an issue.
If anyone can give me a pointer or a some information to
andle this wuld be great.
Asad

i have no problems sending mail to addresses like
[email protected] using
cf8's cfmail...
tested on cf8 with hf2 on winxp. do you have all hotfixes in
stalled?
