ColdFusion Send Email Simple problem
Hi All

I am having problems sending an email via coldFusion. Does anyone know how to send an email so that it actually arrives at the destination? What settings are required.

Many thanks

Dave

Create a page called email.cfm
Code:
<cfmail to="email@domain.com"
	from="email@domain.com"
	subject="This is a test subject"
	type="text">
	Hello Test

	This is the body Text

	Best wishes
              xx
</cfmail>
<cfoutput>
	<p>Mail sent</p>
</cfoutput>

Sorry forgot to mention: Change the code to match the email addresses you want to use then Hit the email.cfm page you created above in a browser.

Are you using a shared hosting plan or a dedicated server?

You need to login to coldFusion administrator and setup your email settings, do as follows:

Goto the administrator and setup as follows:

Mail Server: localhost
Server Port: 25

"Verify Mail Server Connection - when checked, verifies that ColdFusion can connect to the mail server when the "Submit Changes" button is clicked."

Click save and hopefully this will work, let us know if this worked?

Why dont you ask your hosting provider to help you out. I work for a provider called Hyve and we would help you through this.

Setting up the server to interact with a mail server and sending email is pretty thoroughly covered in the documentation. http://tinyurl.com/74tmdwr

Thanks for that, I asked my hosting company to help me out but they said I need a management contract! Very usefull.... not.

Anyway ive now setup the code to send out the email by following the instructions
Code:
<cfmail to="email@domain.com"
	from="email@domain.com"
	subject="This is a test subject"
	type="text">
	Hello Test

	This is the body Text

	Best wishes
              xx
</cfmail>
<cfoutput>
	<p>Mail sent</p>
</cfoutput>


and I am getting the "Mail sent" message however I am not getting the email sent to me into my inbox

Thanks guys for your help. I checked the co0ldFusion docs as recommended and its a bit complex for my skills

Thanks again

Dave

I will ask around and see what could be the problem here, definitely ask your host about this one.

Ok i asked around for you, the problem could be you dont have a PTR setup on your servers IP/domain and your email is going to Spam or being blocked.

A PTR allows the mail server receiving the email to check what domain is associated with the IP address that sent the email and thus check that the email is not in fact spam.

Ask your host to setup one for you and hopefully this is the issue
