This question will probably be easy for nearly every ACFUGGER except me:

 I want to use the <cfmail> tag, and my question is: what do they mean by the 
'server'? For example, in testing the site I'm building on my own PC as local 
server, I plan to send the e-mail messages from the site I'm building to 
myself. My e-mail address is [EMAIL PROTECTED], so that's how I'm filling in 
the to="<recipient>" parameter of <cfmail> (Incidentally, does the 
from="<sender>" parameter make any difference if the recipient will not be 
replying? In this case the recipient will be the office manager on the same LAN 
as the web server itself, and he'll always know where the e-mails come from).

But the hard part is what to put for the server. I've tried 
webmail.atl.earthlink.net, which is were I get my e-mail. And I've tried just 
earthlink.net by itself, and just mindspring.com. But nothing appears in my 
e-mail inbox, not even a message from the MAILER DAEMON, which ought to know 
where to send such a message (of ColdFusion should know, since I've specified 
from="[EMAIL PROTECTED]".

Thanks for your help,
Peyton
