CFMAIL

[alexfusion]

Hello friends:
I am Alejandro from Argentina.I am learning ColdFusion.I think it is great!!!
My question is:
I am trying to send emails by using CFMAIl tag.
I went to the ColdFusion Administrator and enter the SMTP server information.I verified the conection to the server.It was ok.The port is 25.
Then I write the code to use CFMAIL.
I wrote a simple page for sending email.
The sender information is correct(my own email address)
The recipient information is correct too.I checked it and it is ok.
Then I send the email.The code works ok and send the email.
But I when I check if I got the email,I get the mailer daemon message from the SMTP server,telling me that the message is undeliverable and it was rejected.
Once again I checked all the information and I don't see any error.
Anyone can see what is wrong?

I put this info for CFMAIL tag:
sender:mixale@hotmail.com
subject:hello
recipient:mixale@hotmail.com

The email is sent but then the SMTP server rejects the message.
Any help welcome!!!!!!


Thank you so much!

Alejandro

Your code:

>>sender:mixale@hotmail.com
>>subject:hello
>>recipient:mixale@hotmail.com

Perhaps it got rejected because sender and recipient are the same. I know some SMTP servers don't accept this, so maybe you should test it with another email address.
Glad you enjoy working with CF! Adios amigo

I am afraid you will need to set the &quot;From&quot; to a vlid email account on the server.

You can often &quot;open&quot; your mail server to allow forwarding by &quot;anyone&quot; but... unless you want your email server to become a spam server for a hacker I wouldn't do that...

There are many ways a SMTP server can be configured to handle incoming mail and a lot of configs include rules to stop spamming. These often interfere with programs that need to generate e-mail originating from addresses that the server doesn't know about. If you can post the exact error message found in the CF mail log, I or someone in the forums can probably tell you what is causing the SMTP server to reject your message.

Good luck,
