Is there a way to verify mail and some datasources before submitting a page ? Any help will be app.

Simplest way would probably just be to put your calls in a try/catch
block to see if any errors occur. Is your concern that the mail server
and database connections are failing?

We use a lot of different db's (oracle, redbrick, mssql, sybase) and wrote a custom tag that checks the availability of a datasource. We send it a datasource name and get back a true/false variable called dbok.

The actual tag tries to run short queries, such as "select 1 from dual", in the case of an oracle db. It then looks at error codes in the cfcatch part. I forget the rest of the details, but I used it today.
