cfmail and yahoo

[lucidtech]

I have a mailing function setup using the CFMAIL tag. I have tested this countless times with my gmail account with no problems. Today I tried it with both a yahoo account and a college email account, and it didn't go through to either. has anyone else experienced problems like this?

Does the mail go into the spam folder or it never arrives?

What domain is the senders' e-mail coming from? Maybe Yahoo and/or the college e-mail server's are blocking the mails?

This may not do the trick but might shed some light. Wrap your <cfmail> code between <cftry><cftcatch> tags and and do a <cfdump> of the result. See if anything wacky is going on. If that fails, in Yahoo check your "spam" filter and see if that can cause the issue.

I found the problem... I had a name in the 'grom' tag instead of an e-mail address. I'm not sure why it worked with Gmail and not yahoo, but whatever. Only problem now is that the e-mail address shows up in the Sender field of my inbox, rather than the display name for that e-mail address.

To get the name to show up instead of the e-mail address, I think this is the tag: cfmail to="mail@thebluefrogcompany.net" from="Thingy-Me-Jig<marketing@thingymejig.com>" subject="Brand new special offer" type="html">
