Attributes
The attributes for this tag are fixed. Except for the following attributes no other attributes are allowed.
Name | Type | Required | Description |
---|---|---|---|
async | boolean | No | if set to true, the mail is sent asynchronously by the Lucee Task manager (with multiple tries), if set to false the mail is sent in the same thread that executes the request, which is useful for troubleshooting because you get an error message if there is one. This setting overrides the setting with the same name in the Lucee Administrator. This attribute replaces the old "spoolenable" attribute which is still supported as an alias. |
bcc | any | No | Indicates addresses to copy the e-mail message to, without listing them in the message header. "bcc" stands for "blind carbon copy." |
cc | any | No | Indicates addresses to copy the e-mail message to; "cc" stands for "carbon copy." |
charset | string | No | Character encoding of the mail message |
debug | boolean | No | Whether to enable detailed logging to console. |
failto | any | No | Address to which mailing systems should send delivery failure notifications. Sets the mail envelope reverse-path value. |
from | any | Yes | The sender of the e-mail message. |
group | string | No | Specifies the query column to use when you group sets of records together to send as an e-mail message. For example, if you send a set of billing statements to customers, you might group on "Customer_ID." The group attribute, which is case sensitive, eliminates adjacent duplicates when the data is sorted by the specified field. See the Usage section for exceptions. |
groupcasesensitive | boolean | No | Boolean indicating whether to group with regard to case or not. The default value is NO; case is considered while grouping. If the query attribute specifies a query object that was generated by a case-insensitive SQL query, set the groupCaseSensitive attribute to NO to keep the recordset intact. |
mailerid | string | No | Specifies a mailer ID to be passed in the X-Mailer SMTP header, which identifies the mailer application. |
maxrows | number | No | Specifies the maximum number of e-mail messages to send. |
mimeattach | string | No | Specifies the path of the file to be attached to the e-mail message. An attached file is MIME-encoded. |
password | string | No | A password to send to SMTP servers that require authentication. Requires a username attribute. |
port | number | No | The TCP/IP port on which the SMTP server listens for requests. This is normally 25. |
priority | String | No | The message priority level. Can be one of the following values: * An integer in the range 1-5; 1 represents the highest priority. * One of the following string values, which correspond to the numeric values: highest or urgent, high, normal, low, and lowest or non-urgent. |
proxypassword | string | No | When required by a proxy server, a valid password. |
proxyport | number | No | The port number on the proxy server from which the object is requested. Default is 80. When used with resolveURL, the URLs of retrieved documents that specify a port number are automatically resolved to preserve links in the retrieved document. |
proxyserver | string | No | Host name or IP address of a proxy server. |
proxyuser | string | No | When required by a proxy server, a valid username. |
query | string | No | The name of the cfquery from which to draw data for message(s) to send. Specify this attribute to send more than one mail message, or to send the results of a query within a message. |
remove | boolean | No | remove all attachments from filesystem after the mail is successfully sent |
replyto | any | No | Address(es) to which the recipient is directed to send replies. |
sendtime | datetime | No | Set a future date time to send an email in the future via the spooler. |
server | string | No | The address of the SMTP server to use for sending messages. If no server is specified, the server name specified in the Lucee Administrator is used. |
startrow | number | No | Specifies the row in the query to start from. |
subject | string | Yes | The subject of the mail message. This field may be driven dynamically on a message-by-message basis |
timeout | number | No | The number of seconds to wait before timing out the connection to the SMTP server. |
to | any | Yes | The name of the e-mail message recipient. |
type | string | No | Specifies extended type attributes for the message. |

If there are no white space characters, inserts a line break at the specified position. A common value for this attribute is 72. |
