Re: CFMail Problems, please HELP !
Hi Christopher, Thank you so much for spending your time to give me great help! It worked with your suggestions after I upgraded the Coldfusion server from 4.5 to 4.5.1 (Professional version). Thanks again and have a nice day!

I don't use PCAnywhere, as I have physical access to my cf server. I'm not sure what effect that will have on what you need to do and if it has anything to do with you error message. Do you have physical access to the coldfusion box? If you're logging into remote machine with PCAnywhere, it may be that your user account on the remote machine doesn't have the appropriate administrator rights, and you need administrator access to be able to assign the appropriate rights to the folders. If you do have admin rights you might be getting the same error because the CF services are still running and thus have tied up access to the directories. What I meant by stopping all the coldfusion services is actually stopping the coldfusion services running under NT (see "services" on the Windows Control Panel) on the server. If they're running then they might take control of directories or resources to which you need to make changes. In any event, if you have access to the server or are in contact with the machine's administrator, this is what needs to be done (I'm trying to remember the NT4 specific stuff. I'm running Win2K): -Log in under an account with full administrator privileges; -Open the Control Panel and Select "Services"; -Highlight "Cold Fusion Application Server" and select Stop; -Do the same for "Cold Fusion Executive" and "Cold Fusion RDS"; -Under Windows Explorer, open the properties for first folder in question and go to the security Tab. -Select Permissions. Click "Add" and highlight "SYSTEM". You might have to click the "Show Users" button to get SYSTEM to show on the list; -Select Full Control for the type of access; -Click OK; -You can leave "Everyone" for now, unless someone else on the list thinks that's not wise; -Go to each folder in turn and do the same. There's something I also missed on your original message: SMTP server replied "No connection to mail server." With a ping or nslookup from the coldfusion server, double check both the IP and DNS of the mail server you're using. On the mail settings in the ColdFusion Administrator, click "Verify" to make sure CF can see the mail server. Also, contact whoever is in charge of the mail server to make sure it is up and running. Using the IP is probably a good idea, since the cf system won't have to do a name lookup each time. Beyond that, make sure that your TCP/IP settings are correct. Hope this helps.
