You could stick phpmailer up there and try using that when the issue occurs to see if it is limited to cf, perhsps you will get some better debugging data. Russ Michaels www.michaels.me.uk cfmldeveloper.com cflive.net cfsearch.com On 29 Aug 2013 15:37, Maureen mamamaur...@gmail.com wrote:

Imap for Gmail has a 15 connection limit for an account. I'm wondering (as others) of this is simply something similar for smtp. It is quite feasible Gmail is throttling connections from a single ip or subnet where the hostek server resides. Maybe some previous abuse by the ip. Now that you
