CFMAIL PDF documnet as email attachments

I am generating a pdf using cfdocument. Once I have create the pdf's I want to able to attach them to the cfmail code. I also want to over write the PDF's when a new on is created.

<cfdocument
overwrite = "yes"
format="pdf"
pagetype="letter"
marginleft=".5"
marginright=".5"
margintop=".5"
marginbottom=".5">
<cfinclude template="cle_cert.cfm">
</cfdocument>

Get CFDOCUMENT to write the PDF to a file then you can just use <CFMAIL

and the mimeattach = "path" attribute

with the ouput file. The overwrite attribute will replace it each time.

Is it possible to know if the email has been sent/cleared from the CFMAIL spool and use that as a trigger to know when it's okay to delete the file from the server?

For example...once an email finally sent after waiting in the mail queue it could send a response to a script that would take the file attachment name from the email that was just sent and then delete the file at that time. to keep there from being a build up of pdfs?

Sorry to re-open an old thread, but I was curious if it was possible to have any input/clarification on knowing when it's safe to delete the file.

Thanks a lot!
