Are all or only some of the messages not going out? If you're not getting CF
errors on the page, then the problem is probably between CF and the mail server.
If you're going to use from: and to: addresses as entered into a form, make sure
you validate the format of the addresses. For example, if someone enters "Joe
Smith" in the from:, many mail servers will reject the message. The to: address
is obviously even more important. There, you could have the mail server reject
the relay from CF or else the mail server may accept it and be unable to deliver
it for a variety of reasons. You can't validate every possible problem, such as
someone misspelling "aol.com", but you _can_ make sure the address at least
looks like a valid one.
