All, I had cfmx 6.1 running on a Windows server. The mail setting had never worked, but I had never needed it, so I left it as is. Anyway, I need it for a project now, so here goes. I updated 6.1 using the updater and voila, it worked ..... for about 3 days. Just today morning while I was testing I sent three emails to myself and it had worked then. Suddenly now it cannot connect to the smtp server of my ISP. So I activated the IIS SMTP server to see if it would connect to that. Doesn't do it there either. Now this is all on my test server.
I went through the same routine three days ago with my production server and the updater managed to get my cfmail working. At the same time that my cfmail on my test server crapped out, the cfmail on my production server crapped out. Now I know what you are thinking: ISP problems! But I can send and receive mails with no problems. What's more I tested the same thing with a totally different CF 5 server with the ISP's SMTP and it works fine. What gives? Here is the exception it gives when I try to send mail: <exception> Could not connect to SMTP host: smtp.isp.com, port: 25; nested exception is: java.net.SocketException: Software caused connection abort: connect </exception> TIA, George ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Gold Sponsor - CFHosting.net http://www.cfhosting.net Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:184698 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
