Spring < br /> Conference 2006

I'll be speaking at a rather large Macromedia UserGroup Conference (Ohio MUG). It's a full day with four different tracks, which some unfortunately I'll miss while I'm speaking :) I'll present two sessions, one on Ajax basics, and the second one will be for ColdFusion users.

The conference is extremely inexpensive too, but do not be fooled by the price; if you're in the area, do not miss this for anything.

Stop cfmail messages being flagged as spam

This is being an issue for me for a while: it seems like all cfmail emails are being caught as spam. Perhaps not by bldns, but outlook for example.

I found this post a few months ago that I think I should share.

In summary, do the following:

1) Change the cfmail from atrribute to '"#mailoutSender#" <#mailoutSenderEmail#>'
Apparently this makes the sender look more like a real account.

2) Add headers that cfmail doesn't include by default:
•    <cfmailparam name="Message-Id" value="<#createUUID()#@yourdomain.com>">
•    <cfmailparam name="Reply-To" value="#get_mailout.mailoutSenderEmail#">
•    <cfmailparam name="MIME-Version" value="1.0">
