Check your /cfusion/mail/undelivr directory for a backlog of undelivered
emails.
Check your /cfusion/log/mail.log for specific error messages that the mail
server sends back.
Make sure you have permission to relay on the mail server. Since CF cannot
pass a username/password combo to the mail server for authentication that
means that the mail server must be able to relay based upon your CF server's
IP address.
