In this post, we will show you how to send emails via ColdFusion using the cfmail tag. Following is a sample code to send out emails using ColdFusion on our servers:

<cfmail to=”email@domain.com” from=”yourEmail@yourDomain.com” subject=”Test Coldfusion mail” type=”html” server=”localhost” username=”yourEmail@yourDomain.com” password=”your_pass”>
   
Hi, This email was sent using coldfusion.    
     
</cfmail>            
<cfoutput>
    We have just sent you the welcome email.
</cfoutput>

Please note the following:

• to=”email@domain.com” is to be replaced with the email address you want to send an email to it.
• from=”yourEmail@yourDomain.com” is the email account you have set it up in your control panel.
• subject=”Test Coldfusion mail” is to be replaced by your message subject.
• username=”yourEmail@yourDomain.com” is same as the from email.
• password=”your_pass” is the password entered when you setup your e-mail account in your control panel.

You can also use your own variables in the code above. Example: to=”#form.UserEmailAddress#”

Now you know how to send out email using ColdFusion.
