I dont have an exchange server setup. I want to provide the mailing facility in one of my tool, which is used by members connected through LAN. I tried using 127.0.0.1 as the server but it did not work for my local system also.
Please provide me the means by which i can accomplish this.

any web hosting account nowadays comes with mail + with many hosting
companies you can sign up for just mail hosting. voila - you have a mail
server you can use to send mail from CF.

if you are on CF8, then yes, it will. prior cf versions do not have
necessary TSL encryption support to use gmail as mail server.

You must have an email sever, any will do. ColdFusion does not do that
actual emailing it passes this on to the configured email server.
