AFAIK this is referred to as "relaying" and is often shut down to
disallowing spamming.  forces the SMTP server to only send mail from
accounts/systems within the same domain.  so in your case, Frank, changing
the FROM address to the same as the SMTP server should work.  Or the problem
may lie in that the CF Server is not in the same domain as the SMTP server
(if your cf server is cfusion.snafu.com & the smtp server is
mail1.foobar.com).
