There are various CGI scripts out there that will do exactly what you ask.
You could probably use then intact, or convert them to work within
ColdFusion. I got quite a few relevant hits by running the following in
Google --> "404 error reporting script email"

[thelist] emailing reports of 404

I'm running a site in ColdFusion that contains a lot of documents (doc,
pdf, xls, ppt, etc). I'd like to set up a 404 notifier, so that every
time a ColdFusion page or other file that doesn't exist is requested, I
receive an email with the details. The closest I've been able to come to
this is setting up a custom 404 in ColdFusion, and using it to email me
the referrer, so that at least I know where the broken link is. Is
there a better/easier way to do this, something that doesn't require
looking through log files to find 404 errors?
