CF needs to be configured to use a separate mail server. You set this up in the
administrator under miscellaneous/mail option. In
there you need to enter the mail server (cname or ip address can be used although ip
address is suggested). You also need to set up
the server port (this is 25 by standard). After entering this information you click
on the verify button to verify that the
connection to the mail server can be made by cf.
Once you set this up you should be able to use cfmail.
