Well at least it likes their mailserver enough to connect to it right out of the box. This will definitely be a /big/ thing for all those that use Google Apps.

Step 1:

Step 2:

<cfmail to="me@mine.com" from="me@myother.com" type="text/html" subject="This will test against gmail">
If this email gets through, it means CF8 can use Google Apps Mailserver as it's mailserver!<br />
Isn't that grand?
</cfmail>
email sent?

Step 3:

Voila!

Seth Bienek's Gravatar This is great news... Any word on whether CFPOP has gotten the love as well?

Peter J. Farrell's Gravatar BTW, you can also use the use new attribute "useTLS" which takes a boolean in the cfmail tag as well if you don't have access to the admin or only need TLS on certain emails.

Ian's Gravatar It worked if I used my gmail account on the mail server but if I used another account (myname@mydomain.com) hosted on google apps, connection verification failed.

Dan O'Keefe's Gravatar I was able to get this to work without configuring it in the administrator if I added the port and useSSL arguments to CFMAIL:
<cfmail to="whoever"
      from="myemailname"
      subject="google hosted mail server test"
      server="smtp.gmail.com"
      port="465"
      username="myemailname"
      password="999999"
      useSSL="yes">Did it work</cfmail>
