the answer is in! it comes from the forums.... --- I have also noticed that I need to define the mail server in the CFMAIL tag in order to reach AOL accounts. I am not sure why that is true -- but if I want to reach AOL from CFMAIL on a hostcentric.com server, I have to add the line SERVER="something.hostcentric.net" to the CFMAIL tag. Simply relying on the default mail server doesn't seem to work. ---
doesnt work with server="64.73.24.218" but does with server="storm3.stormconcepts.com". enough to piss off the good humor man.
