Hi John, Glad you got it working.
Port 25 is the standard port for mail but for example gmail uses 587 and TLS encryption so there may be a requirement for you to use al alternate port at some stage.

Sort of like port 80 for the webserver, like the localhost? It is on a shared hosting account, so I don't think that the mail is set up in the CF admin;however, I do not need to include the server information in general using cfmail. I added this, because the cfschedule that I set up was not running on time, it was lagged sometimes about 6 hours later. They told me to use the server information to ensure that the mail would be send out on time. This was my first experience with cfschedule, which is great, and this issue is pretty minor, especially when knowing that you can schedule events to occur with CF, which I would have to say is the greatest server solution:) Thanks so much for your help, John On Jan 19, 2009, at 4:55 AM, Paul Kukiel wrote: > Triple check user/pass/mailserver ip > > Also does your mail server run on port 25 or a different port? > > Is it using TLS or SSL? > > Do you not have a mail server set up in cfadmin so u done need the > user/pass/mail server attributes in the <cfmail /> tag?. > > Paul > > -----Original Message----- > From: John Barrett [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Sunday, 18 January 2009 11:37 PM > To: cf-newbie > Subject: cfmail questions > > Hi, I have a page that uses cfmail, but it is not being delivered. > I check the mail logs on my localhost,and I get: > "Error","scheduler-2","01/18/09","17:20:46",,"Authentication Failed" > > However, I have no files in the Applications/ColdFusion8/Mail/ > as I checked the Spool folder and the Undelivr and nothing is in > there. > > This running on a remote host, as I was just checking on my > localhost to see > the logs. > > Is there anything that anybody knows the mail might not be going > out?
