hmm.. I probably should have asked if he's running Windows or *nix before mentioning wins or localhosts...

You can add an entry into localhosts so it will always resolve. Just be sure to update it if that machine's IP ever changes. -----Original Message----- From: Paul Giesenhagen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, November 28, 2002 2:44 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Cannot Connect to Mail Server CF 5 I don't know what has happened, but I have been working on an app that sends out a notification (cfmail) and it was running just fine and then all of a sudden, the mail stopped coming ... So I checked into it and the log files say that CF Server can't connect to the mail server... I then went into the CF Admin and verified the mail server and it says it can't connect ... I then put in the mail servers IP address and it connected ... does anyone have any ideas why this would all of a sudden stop working when minutes before it was working correctly ... (I haven't made any changes to server settings, just working on a cf template). I have also rebooted the machine to just make sure it didn't gack on something. Any help would be appreciated!
