Can someone help me with a Value Windows help me with my cfmail problem?

I was supposed to launch my clients application today the first of April.

I am using this as the cfmail script and I am not getting any cf errors when I execute it.

<cfmail to="[email protected]" from="[email protected]" subject="mailtest" server="mail.fitnessexcellence.com" type="HTML" failto="[email protected]">
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head><link rel="stylesheet" href="/glstyles/styles.css" type="text/css"></head>
<body bgcolor="##ffffff">

<body bgcolor="##0099cc">
<h3>This is a test of the mail</h3>

</cfmail>

<p>Mail Sent!</p>

I think it must be the server="" attribute but I have tried everything I can think of. Is it possible the port is not set to the standard 25? Any ideas?

Thanks
Ed
 
I figured it out if anyone cares or needs the solution...

It is because this is a shared windows account. So the domain name will not work, it is only an alias. You have to us the name provided in the set up of the account, ie server="d53737.u37.jodoshared.com" plus it requires the attributes username and password.
 
You shouldn't specify the server at all -- just use whatever the default is that Jodo specifies in the CF admin. I've been doing so for over 2 months, with no username or password, and it's been working fine.
