Yep In the CFMAIL section of the Docs for version 5.0 it describes the tags. It is similar to CFPOP as well and works the same way.
The FROM address should be the Account name the mail server uses, followed by password ="pop passwordhere" You use the REPLYTO as the email address of the user actually sending the mail to prevent spamming. When I get a chance I will dig out the code from a running app I have if you cannot find it. ===================================== Douglas White group Manager mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.samcfug.org ===================================== ----- Original Message ----- From: "Josh Trefethen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, November 19, 2002 12:08 AM Subject: RE: secure email... | Hey Doug, you there? | | -- | Josh Trefethen | | :::::[ Exciteworks, Inc ]::[ http://exciteworks.com ]:::::. | ::[ cf hosting on linux ]::[ consulting ]::[ expertise ]::. | | | -----Original Message----- | From: Josh Trefethen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] | Sent: Sunday, November 17, 2002 1:29 PM | To: CF-Talk | Subject: RE: secure email... | | | I was thinking the same thing... | | There is no reference to a log in and password in your example...what am | I missing? | | -- | Josh Trefethen | | :::::[ Exciteworks, Inc ]::[ http://exciteworks.com ]:::::. | ::[ cf hosting on linux ]::[ consulting ]::[ expertise ]::. | | | -----Original Message----- | From: Matt Robertson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] | Sent: Saturday, November 16, 2002 10:02 PM | To: CF-Talk | Subject: Re: secure email... | | | >Excuse me!
