If I use cfmail with the from address being "no-reply@domain1.com" it sends
fine. However, if I change (and only change) the from attribute to
"no-reply@domain2.com" the mail is not sent and ends up in the Undelivr
directory.

The only thing I see in the mailsent.log is "Moved undelivered mail:
Mail47522.cfmail to /opt/coldfusionmx7/Mail/Undelivr directory"

Any clue what could be causing this? It's my understanding that cfmail should
at least attempt to send the e-mail as long as the address is valid - so why
should a different domain be preventing an attempt??

Many thanks,
Marc

Hi

The below will help you.
1) Check the mail.log file to see what type of error you are receiving?
2) It could be possible that at the receiver's end they will block the email?
3) The reason also could be that the receiver's email box is full?
4) It could be possible that you can send mail to your company's email id. Not
sure how this is configured. I am experiencing this problem and I posted the
ticket here for help.

Hope the above helps.

Thanks,
Satheesh.

1) "Exception reading response; nested exception is:
java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out"
2) I don't think so - I've tried various receiver emails and all have failed
when using the second from address
3) no
4) I'm not sure what that means

Most likely problem (in most common smtp server setup) is that the
smtp server only allows outgoing emails from limited number of
addresses (for anti-spamming).
smtp server is usually configured to relay (send) emails from it's own
address ONLY. i.e. if smtp server name is smtp.company1.com if will
ONLY relay (send) email from (with from headers)
anything@company1.com, and will NOT relay anything@company2.com...
