Can anyone give me some words of advice when it comes to this? Has anyone tried MailEnable? Or, have you found something else to work well for you? I'd prefer something low cost or free.
What are you trying to do? the tag itself is pretty good as it is and if you use event gateways you can really achieve alot with it.
I need to test some CFMail routines and to do that on my development machine I need a pop / smtp mail server, right? Or maybe I don't? I'm a little confused here.
hmm - if you are using IIS then you can configure your box as an SMTP mail server (do a search on how to do this with IIS). Then configure coldfusion (coldfusion administration) to point to your mail server (localhost) then you can test that mail routines yourself. Who knows, maybe you'll be able to come up with a very robust and efficient process utilising cfmail. Let us know how it goes.
