CFMail Tab

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.
