Sending Email

In addition to sending a form post to a CFC method, cf_sebForm can send email directly. Some attributes not otherwise in use are used for this.

• mailserver (required): The mailserver to use to send email (passed in to cfmail as the server attribute).
• email (required): The email address to which you want to send an email message.
• emailfrom (defaults to value of email attribute): The From address of the email message.
• subject (default: "Form Submission"): The subject of the email message.
• emailCC (optional): If provided, an email address to which a CC of the message should be sent.
• emailBCC (optional): If provided, an email address to which a BCC of the message should be sent.
• replyto (optional): If provided, an email address for the Reply-To header of the message (where any replies from the message will be sent).

Here is an example form:

<cf_sebForm
	mailserver="mail.example.com"
	email="test@example.com"
	emailfrom="robot@example.com"
	subject="Example.com Contact Form"
	forward="contact_thanks.cfm"
>
	<cf_sebField name="name" label="Name">
	<cf_sebField type="email" name="email" label="E-Mail" required="true">
	<cf_sebField name="comments" label="Comments/Questions" type="textarea">
	<cf_sebField type="submit/cancel" label="Submit,Cancel">
</cf_sebForm>

The email sent will be basic (but can be configured) and will use display the form field labels with their values.

Note that none of the attributes of this form get written as form fields (hidden or otherwise), so spammers can't change their values and use your form to send spam to others.
