cfmail checking 1

[ice78991]

A page on my site is used to call cfmail and attach multiple attachments. I want to create an 'Email Sent Successfully' page. What is the best way to check the cfmail has processed and sent the email correctly. Would the answer be to put the cfmail in a try catch block?

probably, no errors = cfmail did it's job as good as it can and that addresses are properly formated. that is no indication that the email will go anywhere after cfmail though.

You can't really verify if the e-mail was successfully received by the recipent. But what I alwayd do something like this to show the attempt was made:

<cftry>
  <cfmail to="" from="" subject="" type="">
  ...
  </cfmail>
  
  <!--- email sent show sucess page --->
  <cflocation url="sentemail.cfm?status=1">
<cfcatch type="any">
  <!--- catch any errors so you can properly debug.  I usually save the errors in the dB so I have a history, or you can e-mail the errors to an admin acct. --->

  <!--- email NOT sent show error page --->
  <cflocation url="sentemail.cfm?status=0">
</cfcatch>
</cftry>
