cfmail & gmail

[Prem Radhakrishnan]

I know this is a non machii question but I came across this issue working with mach blog.

Anyone have any luck sending mail using the gmail smtp server?

IIRC (and a google confirmed it), gmail requires TLS connections. This
is not supported by cfmail unless you are on CF8. See the new cfmail
attributes here:

We'll be updating machblog to support SSL and TLS for sending mail.

Best,
Peter

Great, Timely Question. I was working on getting Google Apps setup for
my website.

Well this is even better that means that nothing has to be modified for MachBlog :)

.  Doesn't look like an attribute for connection type exits in CFMAIL
for cf8.

On further investigation that link has just changed look at the tag attributes here there is a useTSL for cfmail

Yeah, I was typing a message.  CFQuickDocs.com is wrong - it has old screen scraps of the livedocs  right now.  All you need to do is:

<cfmail ... useTLS="true" .. />

wammo and you're done.

Yeah, I was looking @ CFQuickDocs.com and CFEclipse's CF8 Dictionary.
