The cf page with cfmail tag listed below loads properly but the email is not
generated. I have checked all 3 email accounts . The text variables are
coming from a flash form. I have verified the text variables are being loaded
correctly using a trace() function. Any insight on why the cfmail tag fails to
generate the email. The page loads correctly with 0 errors, no unidentified
elements in the display of the cf page. What am i overlooking? I have used
this same tage before with other customers with 0 issues. Thanks in advance,
Braulio.

<cfmail server="smtp.mailer.hostek.net"
subject="Pro Mega Signs Online Customer Inquiry"
from="#Form.email#"
to="victor@promegasigns.com"
cc="nora@promegasigns.com"

A customer inquiry was posted to Pro Mega Signs website:
Subject: Pro Mega Signs Online Customer Inquiry.
Name:"#Form.firstname#"
Phone: "#Form.lastname#"
Email:"#Form.email#"
Company:"#Form.company#"
Message:"#Form.message#"
</cfmail>

Can't understand how you can verify the variables are present with a
trace() function.

Surely the only way to be certain the variables are there is to put

<cfdump var="#Form#"><cfabort>

right before the cfmail tag.

Braulio,

1. Have you logged into the CF Administrator and verified that CF can connect
to the email server?
2. Have you checked the log files in the CF Administrator to confirm that it
was sent?
3. Are you sure the SMTP server on the machine in question will send mail as
expected?

Thanks David. I have submitted to the hosting company the questions that you
submitted. Since I am hosting the website other than on my server, I am
relying on the hosting company to answer the queries you submitted. Once I
hear from them, i will post the reply.

Braulio
