You use the Mail Server page of the ColdFusion MX Administrator to specify a mail server to send automated e-mail messages. ColdFusion MX supports the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) for sending e-mail messages and the Post Office Protocol (POP) for retrieving e-mail messages from your mail server. To use e-mail messaging in your ColdFusion applications, you must have access to an SMTP server and/or a POP account.
The ColdFusion MX Enterprise edition supports mail server failover as well as additional mail delivery options.
The ColdFusion implementation of SMTP mail uses a spooled architecture. This means that when a cfmail tag is processed in an application page, the messages generated might not be sent immediately. If ColdFusion is extremely busy or has a large queue, delivery could occur after some delay.
Note: For more information about the cfmail tag, see Developing ColdFusion MX Applications.
