Question for cfmail ?

Report · Jan 04, 2011

Hi,

I set email setting with test1@gmail.com in administrator web interface

and I use the following code send email.

<cfmail to="test3@gmail.com"
    from="test@abc.com"
    subject="Happy New Year"
    type="HTML" >

Happy New Year.

</cfmail>

but the sender is "test1@gmail.com" when I receive the email in test3@gmail.com.

I hope the sender is "test@abc.com".

Please help me and give me a hand to fix this.

Thanks

Mark

First question on my mind is "Are the email addresses for TO and FROM hard-coded? Or variables?"

If hard-coded, then maybe test3@gmail.com is the default sender for the mail server? Maybe it doesn't recognize test@abc.com.

Just a thought.

It's unclear from your initial post, but are you using gmail as your mail server?

If this is the case, I'm pretty sure - from the last time this issue came up - that you can't specify a FROM address that's different from the one you authenticate to gmail with.
