Spool mail messages for
delivery
(Memory spooling
available for Enterprise
Edition only)
Select this option to route outgoing mail messages to the mail spooler. If
you disable this option, ColdFusion MX delivers outgoing mail messages
immediately. In ColdFusion MX Enterprise Edition, you can spool
messages either to disk (slower, but messages persist across shutdowns)
or to memory (faster, but messages do not persist).
You can override this setting in the
cfmail tag.
Maximum number of
messages spooled to
memory
(Enterprise Edition only)
Enter the maximum number of messages ColdFusion MX will spool to
memory before switching to disk spooling.
Setting Description

message to write to a log file. The options are: Debug, Warning, Debug,
Information, and Error.
Log all e-mail messages
sent by ColdFusion MX
Enable this option to save to a log file the To, From, and Subject fields of
all e-mail messages.
Log Description

Setting Description
Cache Type Set the cache type. Charts can be cached either in memory or to disk. In
memory caching is faster, but more memory intensive.
Maximum number of
images in cache
Specify the maximum number of charts to store in the cache. After the
cache is full, if you generate a new chart, ColdFusion discards the oldest
chart in the cache.
