You need the address of your SMTP server. Check your settings in your
mail client for outgoing mail. You're trying to send it via servers
which don't have SMTP servers on them, i.e. they are not listening on
port 25 for inbound mail, so its probably all sitting in the CF mail
queue.

they are extreme, but that they are intolerant."

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
