Previously a many-body coherent potential approximation (CPA) was used to study the double exchange (DE) model with quantum local spins S, both for S=1/2 and for general S in the paramagnetic state. This approximation, exact in the atomic limit, was considered to be a many-body extension of Kubo's one-electron dynamical CPA for the DE model. We now extend our CPA treatment to the case of general S and spin polarization. We show that Kubo's one-electron CPA is always recovered in the empty-band limit and that our CPA is equivalent to dynamical mean field theory in the classical spin limit. We then solve our CPA equations self-consistently to obtain the static magnetic susceptibility chi in the strong-coupling limit. As in the case of the CPA for the Hubbard model we find unphysical behaviour in chi at half-filling and no magnetic transition for any finite S. We identify the reason for this failure of our approximation and propose a modification which gives the correct Curie-law behaviour of chi at half-filling and a transition to ferromagnetism for all S.
