CFMAIL

That's easy: make sure you configure your SMTP correctly in the ColdFusion Administrator (in the Mail tab).
Specify the SMTP-server (mail.mycompany.com for example), server port usually is 25.
The code to send mail is:
<cfmail to="someone@somewhere.com"
from="me@here.com"
subject="Nothing much"
groupcasesensitive="Yes">#MyMessage#</cfmail>
If you haven't set the mailserver in CF Administrator, you can specify SMTPserver and port in your code:
<cfmail to="someone@somewhere.com"
from="me@here.com"
subject="Nothing much"
server="mail.mycompany.com"
port=25
timeout=60
groupcasesensitive="Yes">#MyMessage#</cfmail>
Good luck!

You'll want to check the mail log to see if there were any errors. If there are no errors pertaining to your message and the message did not show up in the undeliverable folder (cfusion\mail\undeliverable), then it most likely was sent and received by the mail server. It's possible that the mail server rejected the message due to relaying restrictions. If it did show up in the error log, post the error and I or someone can probably tell you what to look for.

All real ISPs will provide a mail server for you to use so you should have one through whoever connects you to the internet. If their address is " try "acme.com", "smtp.acme.com", or "mail.acme.com" as these are the common naming conventions. Once you are able to verify the smtp server under the mail settings in the cf admin, you shouldn't have any problems. Based on your last post, I'm guessing the verify option gives an error.
I would set the smtp server in the cf admin and then remove it from your code unless you have a reason not to. If you ever need to change mail servers, it's much easier to do in one place in the cf admin.
If you need, I can give you an account on our mail server to use until you locate a permanent mail server to use.
Just let me know,

I've tried my ISP's smtp but IS NOT WORKING ONLY WITH COLDFUSION CFMAIL. If I use other mail clients such as Eudora or Outlook, I'm able to use my smtp without any problem. Seems like something wrong with my CF server setting or somethin BUT I'm postively sure that my setting are ok. Can this mail problem have any relation with my loopback cause currently i'm running everything with my 127.0.0.1 address. Do I need to have a NIC + IP address in order to compose and sen email?
About your offer, yes i need your smtp add at least to test my code. If u don't want to publish the add, u can mail me at azri@posmalaysia.com
