Email Fixed And A Note To Model Glue GMail Users

Last night I fixed my issues with emails being sent from CFSnippets.org. About a week ago, in the haste of my hosting fiasco (which I still need to do a proper blog post about) I quickly realized that I would also need to move my email as I moved my blog. I decided on Gmail for your domain (or Google Apps - or whatever it's called). So I made the switch and made sure my CF administrator pointed to the new SMTP server (as described here).

The one problem with doing this was that CFSnippets.org used the Email Actionpack that ships with Model-Glue which does not use the default server mail settings. No problem, I figured I'd just point it at the new server and all would be great. Well, not really. If you look at the Gmail settings page I link to above you'll notice that you must specify 'TLS' and/or 'SSL' when using Gmail's SMTP server - which I had done when configuring CF, but I wasn't sure how I'd handle this at the individual cfmail level. I had a quick chat with my buddy Brian Rinaldi who pointed out that cfmail has a few new attributes as of CF 8 - two of which were exactly what I needed. (For the record, the new attributes are useSSL, useTLS and priority).

So after a few mod's to the Email Actionpack, a quick loop over my Undelivr folder to change all the existing queued mails, a copy/paste from Undelivr to Spool and my email is back in business.

Thanks for your patience. If you've signed up for CFSnippets.org you should now have your verification email. Again, I apologize for the inconvenience!
