Using with a from attributes that has invalid email account

Question

I want to send an email from error@domain.com to the debugging team debug@domain.com using this simple code

<cfmail to="debug@domain.com" from="error@domain.com" 
 subject="sending error message plz respond!" 
 username="sender@domain.com" password="password-correct" 
 server="mail.domain.com" type="html">
      bla bla bla bla blga    
</cfmail>

The issue is if the "from" email address is not an existing email account I get a verification error on mail log of ColdFusion although the username is correct. This used to work in cf8, did they now change it?

Has nothing to do with CF and is likely your smtp server. Are you using gmail?

Why do you not want to use a valid email address in the from attribute? – Dan Bracuk Dec 16 '12 at 17:28
if i want to create more teams i dont want to create more emails accounts for no reason... if i change hosting provider i will have to create all those accounts again... – Dimi69 Dec 17 '12 at 22:21
Write a script to create the email accounts. – Peter Boughton Dec 20 '12 at 17:56
