Using the CFMail tag

Coldfusion provides a tag that enables you to send email messages through your website. The name of the tag is CFMail. This tag is available on all of our accounts that support Coldfusion.

The syntax of the tag is very simple. Within the tag you add the pertinent information including the to address, the from address, a subject line and the server name. The server name will be the same as the webmail address for your account. For example, mail.domainname.com. The message of the email is placed between the cfmail tags.

Below is an example of the CFMail tag for both Coldfusion 5.0 and Coldfusion MX 6.1

CFMail tag using Coldfusion 5.0

<cfmail
   to =”name@yourdomain.com”
   from = “name@yourdomain.com”
   subject = ”Example of CFMail Tag using Coldfusion 5.0”
   server = ”mail.yourdomain.com”>
Email Message
</cfmail>

CFMail tag using Coldfusion MX 6.1

<cfmail
   to =” name@yourdomain.com”
   from = “name@yourdomain.com ”
   subject = ”Example of CFMail Tag using Coldfusion MX 6.1”
   server = ” mail.yourdomain.com”
   username = “name@yourdomain.com ”
   password = “password”>
Email Message
</cfmail>

Coldfusion MX 6.1 allows for SMTP Authentication by use of a username and password. The username and password must be a valid email address from your mail account.
