I am trying to get this to send an email each time a file is uploaded. All the
fields in the form are updating the database correctly but the email is never
sent and no error message is generated. Any ideas....please help!!!

<cfif IsDefined("FORM.ID")>
 <cfupdate datasource="xxxxxxx" tablename="FTPCatalog">
 <cfelse>
 <cfinsert datasource="xxxxxxx" tablename="FTPCatalog">
<cfmail     to = "#SendTo#"
                        from = "#EmailAddress#"
    subject = "FTP file upload notification!"
    server = "mail.server.net" >   
           
A file has been uploaded to the server.

</cfmail>

</cfif>

Check the ColdFusion8/mail/spool and ColdFusion8/mail/undelivr directories on your CF server.  It may be that mail.server.net is not recognized.

I am running several other forms on the site that use this server and they are working correctly. Any other ideas?

you do realise that your code as it is in your original post will only
send email when a NEW RECORD is INSERTED into the db? no email will be
sent on UPDATE of db because how your cfif/cfelse is constructed.

Yes I am aware and that is exactly what I want it to do however it does not
send the email either way. I want an email to be sent to the person selected by
the user whenever they upload a file to the site...this is driving me nuts! It
should work as written shouldn't it?

do you need a login and password?  They may not allow anonymous relaying.  I
would look at the cfmail tags you are using in the other apps that are working
and compare them to this.  There is more than likely going to be a diference.
