  I am trying to send my wordpress blog post by email using my coldfusion server. If I send an email to my secret address from gmail it posts within the minute. If I send an email from my coldfusion server using cfmail it does not post. What should I look for in my mail settings to get this to work?

  Sending post by email messages from a server script is usually blocked because of it’s potential to be exploited by spammers. I would recommend using an email client to post to your blog via email.
