Sort off, just have no proof that is what is happening to me. What I do know, is that I have 5 emails that is clearly sent from another web application on the same server, sitting in my sent folder.
I have been having issues with Hostek the last four weeks where my mail just stops being sent, they are at a loss to explain this, but there are errors to do with authentication in the logs. At least this is what I am being told and shown. Some months ago, I had this issue and emailed the person that I was getting these emails from and he was dumbfounded as well, and was not aware that this was happening. What I can tell you is that there is a setting in the CFadmin to keep the mail connection open. However it appears that if this setting is switched on, and two people with seconds of each other send an email to the same server, ColdFusion will hold the connection open and use the credentials of the previous person. So for arguments sake if I send an email via my website, and another customer does the same from their website, then the mail is sent using the credentials of the first connection to that mail server. But as usual, as no other customer on Hostek has complained about this, I am reaching out to those who may be hosted there and use gmail for their mail. To hear if they are actually having the same issues as well.
