thanks Michael, but I am already doing that with gmail, it is in fact required to use TLS.
But this issue is not specific to gmail, the problem occurs with ANY SMTP server where you pass the auth details in the CFMAIL tag. It of course works fine if I specify the server and auth details in the cfadmin mail settings as these will be used for re-spooled emails as well, but alas I cannot do that as each customer/website needs to use their own outgoing SMTP server. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:347963 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
