CFMail

[khurram]

I want to be able to use the CFMail Tag but since we're hosting our website with an ISP, I may not be able to set up the mail server options.

Does anyone know how we can send mail using the CFMail tag withougt setting up the mail server? If its not possible, is there any other way to do so? When the customer has finished entering his order, I want to be able to recieve an email telling me about the order.

Thanks in advance.

Try specifying the mail server (SMTP server) within the CFMAIL tag:

<cfmail to=&quot;someone@somewhere.com&quot;
from=&quot;me@here.com&quot;
subject=&quot;Hi&quot;
server=&quot;smtp.here.com&quot;
port=25>My Text goes here</cfmail>

Usually the mailserver is something like smtp.company.com or mail.company.com, while the port for the smtp server usually is 25. Hope this helps...
