Cold Fusion CFMAIL Tag

This tutorial describes how to correctly code the Cold Fusion CFMAIL tag. The reason for the extra code added to the CFMAIL tag is to prevent emails generated by the CFMAIL tag being tagged as SPAM by various SPAM Filtering programs.

Below is a line-by-line description of the code:

FROM: This field should show the email address of a person or department within your company. This must be a VALID email address.

TO: This field is usually filled by the email address of the person submitting the form, which would be carried over by a Cold Fusion tag as shown in the example below.

SUBJECT: This is the subject of the email and should be used to describe the email content.

SERVER: This is a REQUIRED field!

The next 2 lines are also REQUIRED fields within the CFMAIL tag. The first CFMAILPARAM tag should be edited to reflect your domain name instead of the cyberlynk.net domain. The second CFMAILPARAM tag should be edited to reflect your reply email address for this email, this is usually the same as the FROM field.

NOTE: If you encounter any problems while testing this code, please email CyberLynk Tech Support.
