[cfaussie] CFMAIL On Shared Hosting Servers
Hi, I have a cf application that clients log into and are able to amongst other things email purchase orders to suppliers email reports to head office etc etc all from within the CF application. The problem i have is that my CF hosting provider like many will not allow emails to be sent from their servers if the from email address is not linked to the domain name of the hosting account as a result my clients are generating emails from within the application and although their email address is recorded within the database i have to use my applications website specific email address in the to field. Is it possible to have cfmail incorporate the users name as well as the email address in the from field so that when the email is recieved the recipient see the sends name in the from field rather than the sites website address. The replyto element in cfmail is great as it allows me to nominate the users email address to be used if the email they send out is needed to be replied to. However if i could display the persons name in the from email address instead of displaying the from email address that would make it even better. Regards Claude Raiola B.Econ (Acc), B.Hot.Mngt.

its most likely an email server authentication issue that a cf issue claude. they probably have the mail server authenicating on the email address which is why if the mail server doesnt have the sending email address in it then it will get rejected. -Original Message- From: cfaussie@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Claude Raiola Sent: Tuesday, 2 December 2008 2:07 PM To: cfaussie@googlegroups.com Subject: [cfaussie] Re: CFMAIL On Shared Hosting Servers The from emailaddress needs to be a valid address associated with the domain of the application the users email is defined from the users dbase when they log in I am wanting to display the users name in thefrom field when cfmail sends the email not the default email address Regards Claude Raiola Mob: 0414228948 -Original Message- From: Chris Velevitch [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, 2 December 2008 12:40 PM To: cfaussie@googlegroups.com Subject: [cfaussie] Re: CFMAIL On Shared Hosting Servers Try using a from email address of the form:- Claude Raiola [EMAIL PROTECTED] Chris -- Chris Velevitch Manager - Adobe Platform Users Group, Sydney m: 0415 469 095 www.apugs.org.au Adobe Platform Users Group, Sydney January '09 meeting: TBA Date: Mon 19th January 6pm for 6:30 start Details and RSVP coming later --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups cfaussie group.

I am aware of the reason for restricting from email addresses to prevent spamming etc thats not my question, i must not have explained myself clearly i am simply asking is there some code i can add in addition to the domain specific email address i am using so that when the email is received the recipient sees the persons name appearing rather than the email address itself appearing even though the email address, naturally is also present Regards Claude Raiola B.Econ (Acc), B.Hot.Mngt.

[cfaussie] Re: CFMAIL On Shared Hosting Servers
Claude it looks exactly the same set up as we have.For our system, you ahve to have you CFMAIL tag looking like this (and it'll probably be the same for you): cfmail to=clients email address from=Mike Kear [EMAIL PROTECTED]--- i.e. some valid email address on this domain replyto=[EMAIL PROTECTED]--- an address (any address) where i want the client's replies to go to subject=[AFP Webworks] the subject of the email server=mail.afpwebworks.com username=[EMAIL PROTECTED] --- not the real one - but its part of the authentication password=password blah blah blah /cfmail All these parameters are required as a minimum to send CFMAIL from our servers.The username and password must be a valid pair of authentication values for an email account on our server. The FROM or the TO email address must be a valid email address on our server (but need not be the same as the one used for authentication) In this way, i can have the web site generate emails sent to me, but coming from the client, so just hitting reply sends my reply to them. From what you describe, i feel sure yours are set up the same way.

[cfaussie] Re: CFMAIL On Shared Hosting Servers
you have to be careful with that as a lot of spam checkers check to see if the senders address is the same as the reply-to address. if it isnt some spam checkers will either block it or mark it as spam. -Original Message- From: cfaussie@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mike Kear Sent: Tuesday, 2 December 2008 4:05 PM To: cfaussie@googlegroups.com Subject: [cfaussie] Re: CFMAIL On Shared Hosting Servers Claude it looks exactly the same set up as we have.For our system, you ahve to have you CFMAIL tag looking like this (and it'll probably be the same for you): cfmail to=clients email address from=Mike Kear [EMAIL PROTECTED]--- i.e. some valid email address on this domain replyto=[EMAIL PROTECTED]--- an address (any address) where i want the client's replies to go to subject=[AFP Webworks] the subject of the email server=mail.afpwebworks.com username=[EMAIL PROTECTED] --- not the real one - but its part of the authentication password=password blah blah blah /cfmail All these parameters are required as a minimum to send CFMAIL from our servers.The username and password must be a valid pair of authentication values for an email account on our server.
