Re: CFMail 'from' seems to get ignored
thanks everyone. I'll try it using my GApps account instead - I do have the site set up under it already so hopefulyl that'll work.

Re: CFMail 'from' seems to get ignored
Hmm that didn't really work either (Google Apps). I've got site.com set up under my google Apps account as an authorised domain. However when I send mail via CF and specify the sender as i...@site.com it now shows as my primary Google Apps domain. So I guess unless I set up a standalone Apps account I won't be able to send mail this way. I'll probably have to use my own mailserver then?

Right, it's going to use your primary domain when you mail through Apps. You could set up an Apps domain just for this site, if you remove the domain alias from your Apps domain configuration.

Re: CFMail 'from' seems to get ignored
I've configured mail in CF Admin using smtp.gmail.com with my personal GMail account details (username and password). Mail is being sent without problems. However users of one of the websites where I use the CFMAIL tag and a 'from' address of i...@site.com tell me that the email arrives as having been sent from me, using my GMail address. What am I missing? Shouldn't the 'from' in CFMail take priority? That's what I seem to remember always happened when I used my own SMTP server in the past. BTW I am not specifying server details or credentials in the CFMail tag itself, they are only specified in CFadmin. Rex nailed it - Gmail doesn't allow you to set this. As a workaround, you can set up a Google Apps domain for either the primary domain or a subdomain of site.com - presumably a subdomain, unless they're willing to migrate from their current mail system to Apps.

Re: CFMail 'from' seems to get ignored
I believe this is a setting in gmail itself. There is a section in the settings called Send mail as: Sent with my Droid On Nov 19, 2010 2:14 PM, Stefan Richter ste...@flashcomguru.com wrote: Hi all, I've configured mail in CF Admin using smtp.gmail.com with my personal GMail account details (username and password).

Re: CFMail 'from' seems to get ignored
Google's mail servers do not allow you to spoof the FROM email address. It will always come from the authenticated account. i.e. If I'm using google's mail servers, and login as thisper...@gmail.com, I cannot send from thatper...@gmail.com or anotherper...@site.com Stefan Richter wrote: Hi all, I've configured mail in CF Admin using smtp.gmail.com with my personal GMail account details (username and password).
