About once a month, my Lucee app stops sending emails, and I get thousands of emails listed in the Administrator's Failed Task list. I can select them, click execute, and they are sent out but I want to do this programmatically so I can monitor for failed emails and then send them programmatically. Is there any way to do this?
In Adobe ColdFusion, I used to just check for files in the bad email folder and mover then to the good email folder.
Too long for a comment... See this related question over on Lucee.org - Undeliverable Mail
Unfortunately Lucee does not offer the same functionality as Adobe ColdFusion for re-spooling failed emails. It only offers the function within the admin UI.
In the post I referenced above, ddspringle mentions that you can just simulate what the admin UI is doing in your own code. One of the benefits of open source software is that you can see the code. So he includes a link to the admin code that re-spools the email. The link is here - services.tasks.cfm lines 68-73
I will copy that code block here as well:
<cfadmin
action="executeSpoolerTask"
type="#request.adminType#"
password="#session["password"&request.adminType]#"
id="#data.ids[idx]#">
And here is a link to the documentation for the cfadmin tag - cfadmin on cfdocs.org
CFADMIN ATTRIBUTE REFERENCE
action string Required - The administrative action to perform.
type string Required - The admin context: web or server.
password string Required - The admin password.
Hope that helps.

I faced a lot of trouble setting up trigger mail extensions along with cloud functions. Here I explain step-by-step how to get things done!
Lets get working.
Set up Firebase
Create a project if you haven't already here.
To use trigger-mail extension and cloud functions, you need to
upgrade the project to BLAZE Plan.
Go on and do that now (check bottom left side of window).
Go on and set-up firestore database and storage. This is
necessary for both extension and functions to work.
Configuring Extensions
Click on Extensions panel under Build.
Find Trigger Mail extension and click on install.
Here's the main part:
Click on next 2 times.
Grant all necessary permissions.
This is where you'll link your mail account from which you'll be sending mail
You'll be greeted with such a screen ->
URI
If the mail I'm linking is xyz123#gmail.com, this will be your SMTPS format:
smtps://xyz123#gmail.com#smtp.gmail.com:465
Use this in the SMTPS connection URI field.
Password
This is a little hectic step.
Enable 2 factor Authorization in your Gmail here.
Now you would need to create an App Password
Click on Generate.
You'll see such a screen ->
You have to enter this password in the SMTP password field and click Create secret.
NOTE: Do not enter spaces.
Wait for sometime for the process to finish.
After it's done, Your screen will look like this ->
You could keep the same Gmail for Default Reply-To address as the original mail, or one of your choice.
Let Email documents collection be the same.
Click on Install Extension.
This will take few minutes.*
Voila, you're done!
Let's send a test mail.
Now in-order to send a mail, you need to add a document to mail collection in your firestore db.
Find official documentation here.
to: ['someone#example.com'],
message: {
subject: 'Hello from Firebase!',
text: 'This is the plaintext section of the email body.',
html: 'This is the <code>HTML</code> section of the email body.',
}
This is the format of document to send mail.
"to" is an array and "message" is a map .
Let's create a collection manually ->
Here's my document window
Let's save this document.
If done correctly, within few seconds, you'll see the document automatically update with more fields like attempts etc.
Check your mail for the email.
Writing a function.
Lets set up Firebase CLI
Download Node.js here.
Run the installer.
Copy the installed path in your drive.
I have mine installed under C:\Program Files\nodejs.
Search environment variables in your system tray.
Paste the directory under System Variables -> Path, create new and add.
Download and install Firebase CLI by following the steps here..
login to firebase cli using the above doc.
Open your project in code editor, and type firebase init in terminal.
Select project and add functions support. It'll create a new folder functions.
I've written a function that sends a onboarding email when a new user is created.
const functions = require("firebase-functions");
const admin = require("firebase-admin");
admin.initializeApp();
// sends mail if new user is regestired
exports.userOnboardingMail = functions.auth.user().onCreate((user)=>{
admin.firestore().collection("mail").add({
"to": [user.email],
"message": {
"subject": "Welcome to My app! Explore functionalities here.",
"text": `Hi, ${user.displayName}. \n\nIt's nice to have you on-board.`,
},
})
.then((result) => {
console.log(
"onboarding email result: ", result,
"\ntime-stamp: ", Date.now);
});
});
Hope I was able to make your day a bit easier :)

I have set my Sendgrid single sender and validate it ( status = verified).
I use SMTP, create my key that i paste in my code (.env file of my app):
MAILER_DSN=sendgrid+smtp://#default
Then i try to test integration in Sendgrid by clicking on button and refresh my localhost/ page (of course the controller's route is "/" and it contains the code using mailer to send a mail as explain in mailer documentation).
On my vue i don't have error code but mail stay in queue status...
Here the screenshot taken of the profiler:
Can someone tell me why my mail stay queued?
Of course the From email address is mine ( the verified one) and the To is anotherone of mine.
Maybe i have to configure something in my outlook mail (the From one) ?
Sendgrid never match the verification, it stay in checking status until message :
Hmm, we haven't seen your email yet.
Please check your code, run it again, then click "Retry".
Thanks for reply,
Regards,
In your question you said that your MAILER_DSN environment variable is set to:
MAILER_DSN=sendgrid+smtp://#default
That is missing your API Key though. You need to create an API key in the SendGrid dashboard and then add the API key to the MAILER_DSN variable, between the // and the #default like this:
MAILER_DSN=sendgrid+smtp://API_KEY#default
One other thing, ensure that you have installed the SendGrid transport with this command:
composer require symfony/sendgrid-mailer
Yes, thanks you a lot for reply.
Of course all was set as you notify me.
I now have fix my issue, in fact the problem for me with the mail that remains in queued is that the messenger was installed so in asynchronous by default.
I had to add the option message_bus: false in my config/packages/mailer.yaml file not to have the asynchronous option used.
Hopefully this is useful for some people.
add the option message_bus: false in my config/packages/mailer.yaml:
framework:
mailer:
dsn: '%env(MAILER_DSN)%'
message_bus: false
Is there a way to make a Jire email handler ignore the From field in an email and go for a custom tag instead? I know I could work with the API instead but that's in the pipe. this is a temporary solution that will be used until a more robust system is built.
To clarify what we have today:
Email is sent to inbox, (hr#company.com)
Jira picks is up and creates an issue.
Jira looks at the From field and creates a uses if none exist.
What we're trying to achieve:
Form is filled out, and an area is chosen (hr, facilities etc.).
Form is posted to an API that creates an email (basically a no-reply adress over SMTP) and sends it to the appropriate inbox (for example hr#company.com).
Email lands in the inbox and Jira looks in it and creates an issue in project or label 'HR'.
Jira now looks in the email and finds custom tags named [user] and [user-email] (or something) and creates a user from the tag.
Example email
From: no-reply#company.com
To: hr#company.com
Subject: Some problem
Body: Explanation of problem
Have a good day!
/Mike
[user:"Michael Smith"]
[userEmail:"michael.smith#company.com"]
If we were to implement this system now, we would loose the possibility to create new users because all emails would come from the same "no-reply" adress.
I have searched in the Atlassian forums and such, but with no luck. Have not found anything in the official documentation, but I fear that I might be looking in the wrong place.
I hope that I'm being clear, and that someone has any idea if it is possible.
Thank you!
You need to write your own plugin and create your own Mailhandler.
For example you can use a regex which looks for the tag
[userEmail:"michael.smith#company.com"] and retrieve the emailadress from the string. Do the same for the [user]-tag, if the user doesn't exist.
Here is a tutorial that shows how to create and setup custom Message Handlers:
https://developer.atlassian.com/jiradev/jira-platform/guides/email/tutorial-custom-message-mail-handler-for-jira#Tutorial-Custommessage(mail)handlerforJIRA-Step7:Implementarealmessagehandlerback-end
The rest should be easy from here.
I run into an issue with module webform2pdf, which I am too unable to solve for a few days. I am using Commerce Kickstart as a drupal commerce module for handling all the shopping fuctionality, and we were in need to add webforms for returns policy (required by law in my country).
This form has many fields, like when you have pursached the product, what is it's serial number etc. Webform2pdf module was used for sending submitted data as PDF as attachment to email. But the received PDF by mail has blank data tokens, no matter how I try. Weird thing is, that when I hit download PDF in administration of drupal website, it just fills the data tokens right.
I have tried many tokens, all of these:
[submission:values:meno:withlabel]
[submission:values:meno]
[webform:val-meno]
[webform:meno]
%email[meno]
%email_values
%label_nl[meno]
%nl[meno]
%label_all[meno]
%label_all_nl[meno]
%all[meno]
%all_nl[meno]
[submission:values]
%value[meno]
Neither of them works, most of them simply prints token label. For example [submission:values] prints all the labels, but no data.
Upper in the mail, I have also token:
%label_all[typ_servisu]
Which prints correctly when sent via mail, but refuses to print when "download PDF" in administration. This token holds select radio buttons.
I have also tried send pdf as attachment via Rules, but with no success. I am not very experienced developer.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
I am using the Rules module to respond to specific events and send email alerts. This part of my project works fine.
My problem is I need to include some dynamic data in the email message. For this I am using Tokens but the tokens do not get processed and replaced with the neccessary text. This means the email gets delivered with tokens in the message.
Can anyone suggest how I can solve this problem either programmatically or via some configuration I am missing?
I'm using Rules for emails also and hav not encountered any issues using tokens
This is an example of the body of the email from one of my rules
New Issue --> [node:url]
Title - [node:title]
Description - [node:body]
Author - [node:author]
Priority - [node:field-issue-priority]
Category - [node:field-issue-category]
Maybe you do not have the proper format?
