RE: Emails no longer sent through site
What OS? What are you using for the mail server in CF Admin? Are you using the server attribute of cfmail tag? I have found the best way on a windows server is to use the local SMTP service, set it to allow relaying only from 127.0.0.1, then in CF Admin enter localhost for the mail server. This will allow the email to be sent directly from the web server and bypass the email server and any authentication issues altogether. Note: do not use the server attribute of cfmail tag or you will override the CF Admin settings. ~~ Stephenie Hamilton Macromedia Certified ColdFusion Professional CFXHosting -Original Message- From: Russ [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 10, 2003 4:16 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Emails no longer sent through site This is really strange--at least in my exposure to CFMX thus far.

Re: Emails no longer sent through site
Are you specifying a mail server in your CFMAIL tags? This could explain why your site behaves differently from others on a shared server. If you are in a shared hosting environment, it could also explain why your site's mail stopped working while others kept going -- because the administrator responsible for those changes to a network mail server followed up with appropriate changes to CF Administrator. But, because you hard-coded the mail server by name into your templates, those changes will break your site. If you're not getting any ColdFusion errors, the messages might be sent but the mail server is having problems. Check the mail server's logs to verify. I hope this is helpful. Dave -- David M.
