Specifying mail servers
The attribute can specify one or more mail servers.
server
Note: If you specify multiple mail servers in ColdFusion MX Standard, the cfmail tag uses only the
first server in the specification. ColdFusion logs a warning message to the mail log file and ignores the
additional servers.
For each server, you can optionally specify a username, password, and port. These values override
the corresponding attributes, if any. The
[user:password@]server[:port],[user:password@]server[:port],....
For example, the following line specifies one server, mail.myco.com that uses the default port and
no user or password, and a second server with a user, password, and specific port:
server=mail.myco.com,mail_admin:adm2qzf@mail2.myco.com:24
When you specify multiple mail servers in ColdFusion Enterprise, ColdFusion tries the available
servers in the order they are listed until it connects to a server. ColdFusion does not try to connect
to a server that was unavailable in the last 60 seconds.
