How can I send mail with ColdFusion that will not generate auto-reponsder (vacation) messages?

Use <cfmailparam name="Precedence" value="bulk"> or <cfmailparam name="Precedence" value="list"> after the <cfmail> tag and the email server is 'told' to avoid sending any vacation messages.

<cfmail
to = "recipient"
subject = "message subject"
from = "sender">

<cfmailparam name="Precedence" value="bulk">

</cfmail>

Wow, that is really cool. I had no idea.

I second Ben Nadel's comment. I have sent a ton of cfmail over the years -- I will certainly check this out. Does setting the precedence level to "bulk" tend to triger spam filters?

That's what I'm wondering.. Beware potential unwanted side effects?
