I'm Using Coldfusion 9

1. I have an action page entitled Thankyou.cfm. This page i designed to insert information into a database and send two different email to two different people. one email is to be sent to me (and it works just fine). Code is below.

<cfmail
        from="FCSD Home Delivery"
         to="hh@thesonco.com"
        subject="You Have FCSD Home Delivery Request from #form.fname#"
        replyto="#form.email#"
        failto="bnice@ul.edu"
        server="208.112.71.220">

A new order from:
Name: #Trim(FORM.fName)#
Phone: #Trim(FORM.Phone)#
Email: #Trim(FORM.Email)#
Delivery Option: #Trim(FORM.Deliveryoption)#
Comments: #Trim(FORM.CusGet_Updates)#
</cfmail>

2. The other other cfmail (written on the same page) does not send the confirmation email to the customer. The code is below

<cfmail
        from="hh@thesonco.com"
         to="#form.email#"
        subject="Thank You #form.FName#"
        replyto="hh@thesonco.com"
        server="208.112.71.220">

Confirmation message goes here
</cfmail>

3. The first cfmail send just fine along with the proper insertion into the database. the second cfmail (written on the same page) never shows up on the customers email (as i had tried using my own separate email address).

Am missing something. All suggestions would be welcome thanks guys...

What happens when you reverse the order and implement the second cfmail tag first?

Does the mail server allow relaying to external domains? You can test this by attempting to connect to the mail server from a telnet session launched from your CF server's console (Google "SMTP telnet" for instructions on how to connect to a mail server via telnet).

All of you Guys are a great help!!!! I believe that it was a server setting that was on the cfmail being sent to the customer. i removed the server info in My original code:

<cfmail
        from="hh@thesonco.com"
         to="#form.email#"
        subject="Thank You #form.FName#"
        replyto="hh@thesonco.com"
        server="208.112.71.220">

Confirmation message goes here
</cfmail>

To This code

<cfmail
        from="hh@thesonco.com"
         to="#form.email#"
        subject="Thank You #form.FName#">

Confirmation message goes here
</cfmail>

After i did that, cfmail sent the appropiate email to both myself and the customer. I tested it about twice and it worked. I will continue to test it to make sure that it is working properly.

Thanks again for all of your help!!!

Interesting discovery! I suspect you've touched on something deep here. Could it be that Coldfusion ignores a second cfmail tag with the same server attribute because it doesn't want to reopen an already open server-to-server connection?
