I currently have a table with about 9,000 registered accounts and would like to
send them a promotional email. i would like to spool all emails but would like
to hold them in another directory, such as the Picukp directory in IIS. CF has
Spool and Undeliverable so it either goes or is undeliverable. What would I
need to modify to make this happen?

Instead of using the CFMAIL tag you could use CFFILE to create a properly
formatted file saved to your pickup folder.

How to test outbound mail flow with a file in the Pickup folder:

Do you mean that with simply replacing the cfmail tag with cffile it will save it to the pickup directory?

I've been playing around with the tag and have got it working...sort of. With
the following code it moves the entire Spool directory into the Pickup folder.
Which is expected. However, I am trying to get all files with a .cfmail
extension into the Pickup directory but it throws an error when i try
...\Spool\*.cfmail or ..\Spool\*. or ..\Spool\'*.cfmail'. What is the proper
way to this?

Thanks
Cesar

<cffile
action = "move"
source = "C:\ColdFusion8\Mail\Spool\"
destination = "C:\ColdFusion8\Mail\Pickup">

What is the error message? Does the account under which the ColdFusion server
runs have the required rights to access the folders? Does the *.cfmail file
format created by CF match the format expected by your email server?

You would need to write some custom code, such as a CFC, that would use the
CFFILE tag to write to your pickup directory.
