I've been using CF on Windows for a long time but just installed it on my first Linux box. Much works smoothly, a few things don't, most disconcertingly including outgoing mail.
Here's my setup: CF Version: CFMX 7.01 OS Version: CentOS 4.5 Mail Server: Exim 4.68 WHM/cPanel 11.x Exim seems to be working okay for localhost relays. It's relaying mail from localhost for PHP apps; the nobody user is permitted to send. But cfmail tags don't work even if I provide server, username and password attributes. And in CF Administrator > Mail, I cannot get a connection to the mail server using any settings (localhost, IP address, mail.domain.com, etc, etc); I just get "Connection Verification Failed" every time. I'm not sure how to use the user:[EMAIL PROTECTED] method in CF Admin > Mail to ensure an authenticated connection (one should not be needed, anyway), since usernames on my server have an @ in them. As root, I can telnet to localhost on port 25, no problem. The CF mail.log has one consistent error in it: Could not connect to SMTP host: [IP Address], port: 25; nested exception is: java.net.ConnectException: connection to [IP Address] timed out Thanks in advance for any help!
