Attribute Description
from
object, required

The sender of the e-mail message.

to
object, required

The name of the e-mail message recipient.

cc
object, optional

Indicates addresses to copy the e-mail message to; "cc" stands for "carbon copy."

bcc
object, optional

Indicates addresses to copy the e-mail message to, without listing them in the message header.

"bcc" stands for "blind carbon copy."

replyto
object, optional

Address(es) to which the recipient is directed to send replies.

failto
object, optional

Address to which mailing systems should send delivery failure notifications. Sets the mail envelope Return-Path value.

subject
string, required

The subject of the mail message. This field may be driven dynamically on a message-by-message basis

type
string, optional

Specifies extended type attributes for the message.

  • text
  • plain
  • html
  • text/plain
  • text/html
mimeattach
string, optional

Specifies the path of the file to be attached to the e-mail message. An attached file is MIME-encoded.

listener
any, optional
groupcasesensitive
boolean, optional

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.

server
string, optional

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.

port
number, optional

The TCP/IP port on which the SMTP server listens for requests. This is normally 25.

mailerid
string, optional

Specifies a mailer ID to be passed in the X-Mailer SMTP header, which identifies the mailer application.

timeout
number, optional

The number of seconds to wait before timing out the connection to the SMTP server.

username
string, optional

A user name to send to SMTP servers that require authentication. Requires a password attribute.

password
string, optional

A password to send to SMTP servers that require authentication. Requires a username attribute.

wraptext
number, optional

Specifies the maximum line length, in characters of the mail text. If a line has more than the specified number of characters, replaces the last white space character, such as a tab or space, preceding the specified position with a line break. If there are no white space characters, inserts a line break at the specified position. A common value for this attribute is 72.

charset
string, optional

Character encoding of the mail message

async
boolean, optional

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.

Alias: spoolenable

usetls
boolean, optional

Whether to use Transport Level Security.

Alias: tls, starttls

priority
String, optional

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.
usessl
boolean, optional

Whether to use Secure Sockets Layer.

Alias: ssl, secure

proxyserver
string, optional

Host name or IP address of a proxy server.

proxyport
number, optional

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.

proxyuser
string, optional

When required by a proxy server, a valid username.

proxypassword

When required by a proxy server, a valid password.
