Sending E-mail

To send email, use cfmail tag making sure you set async=false (see below). Not setting this flag to false may result in undelivered email because mail may still exist in Lucee spooler (Lucee tasks) when your task runner exits.

mail 
    subject=subject 
    from=from 
    to=to
    cc=cc
    bcc=bcc
    replyTo=replyTo
    type=type
    server=server
    port=port
    username=username
    password=password
    useTls=tls
    usessl=ssl
    async=false {
writeOutput(emailBody);
};

Connecting to SMTP Services Using SSL or TLS

If you cannot connect to a SMTP server that requires SSL or TLS, like Amazon SES, one workaround is to install a local SMTP server and configure it as a relay to your SMTP server. This has been done successfully on Windows servers using hMailServer (free, opensource), which is fairly easy to install and configure as an SMTP relay.
