Extracting Header rows from .cfmail file

With a big node to Mr. Hartfield, below is a simplified cfscript function which will get you the header data from a .cfmail file. Most likely that you want to get out of the undelivr folder. Note, that you can also use your own mail params (starting with an X-) which will help you keep track of emails.

see below this code for an example of utilizing it.

public struct function parseEmail(required string filePath) {
    var emailStruct = {};
    var properties = {};
    if (findNoCase( 'Unix', cgi.SERVER_SOFTWARE)) {
        variables.OS = 'unix';
        variables.seperator = chr(47);
    } else {
        variables.OS = 'windows';
        variables.seperator = chr(92);
    }
    var mailFolder = server.coldfusion.rootdir && seperator && 'Mail' & amp;
    seperator;
    if (fileExists(arguments.filePath)) {
        properties = createObject( " java ", " java.lang.System ").getProperties();
        properties.put(javacast( " string ", " mail.host "), javacast( " string ", " localhost "));
        properties.put(javacast( " string ", " mail.transport.protocol "), javacast( " string ", " smtp "));
        mailSession = createObject( " java ", " javax.mail.Session ").getDefaultInstance(properties, javacast( " null ", " "));
        fileStream = createObject( " java ", " java.io.FileInputStream ").init(arguments.filePath);
        mimeMessage = createObject( " java ", " javax.mail.internet.MimeMessage ").init(mailSession, fileStream);
        headers = mimeMessage.getAllHeaderLines();
        while (headers.hasMoreElements()) {
            curHeader = headers.nextElement();
            emailStruct.headers[listFirst(curHeader, ':')] = listDeleteAt(curHeader, 1, ':');
        }
    }
    return emailStruct;
}

Now use it..

call it…

var undelivrFileArr = directoryList(mailFolder & seperator & 'Undelivr', false, 'name','*.cfmail')
 
for (file in undelivrFileArr){
    cfMailFileInfoStruct = parseEmail(file.Directory & file.fileName);
 
    curMailRecord = spoolerMessageGateway.getMessageSendAttemptsCount(
        messageUUID = cfMailFileInfoStruct.messageUUID,
        senderEmail = cfMailFileInfoStruct.from,
        recipientEmail= cfMailFileInfoStruct.to,
        messageSubject = cfMailFileInfoStruct.subject
    );
}

There you have it. a curMailRecord structure with naming conventions for the data you want to extract. (I used messageUUID as my example of an x-[custom param] example.
