You just checked whether I could pick up my email (thank you), not 
whether you could deliver it to me there. I stated port 25 (SMTP) while 
you checked port 110 (POP).

they block all incoming traffic on port 25 and provide a failover server 
that acts as a smarthost for mail to be delivered to the network 
(130.161.0.0/16 and 145.94.0.0/16 need to go through one server at my 
Uni). This allows them to provide central spam blocking and antivirus 
scanning, while the users can still connect to local servers. I would 
however expect that you can not verify my email server, while it is a 
valid and running server (try it).
Also, many servers don't accept SMTP connections from computers outside 
a trusted domain that don't have an MX record. If your CF server does 
not have an MX record but your SMTP server does, you might get a false 
negative.

RE: ASP vs. Cold Fusion

2001-08-17 Thread Michael Dinowitz

In the version column it means that it was a hidden function in that 
version. In the datatype column it means that something special is coming 
back from the function call. This could be multiple types of datatypes 
based on an attribute (like REFind returning a numeric or a structure), 
datatypes that are dependant on other things (like LSDateFormat returning a 
dateformat that's legal based on some other location), or even some strange 
stuff like Javacast.
The notes that go to each function was supposed to be in the functions book 
I have shelved at the moment. I was talking to MM and others about backing 
so I could just write stuff for CF and the community but it all fell apart. 
My need to support my family stops me from writing a book for myself 
(though I am writing a few chapters in other books but for pay). We'll see 
what the future holds on all this but for now you've got the functions list.

Re: ASP vs. Cold Fusion

2001-08-17 Thread Michael Dinowitz

I really have no clue as to how this works internally. The test is if your 
mail server shows up in the administrator then the function will work for 
it. Basically, this is the function used in the admin to do that check.
My thought is that it does a tcp/ip request to the port specified. If so, 
then maybe it can also be used to specify if a server or service is running 
or not. Use it to check if an FTP server is running on a machine.

And the answer is no. It looks like the function calls the mail server on X 
port and waits for a HELO or the equivalent.

You can also telnet into the machine and see if the mailserver is running.
Often times you get something like this:

+OK POP3 dssf.tudelft.nl v2000.70 server ready

I tried using cfexecute, but it wouldn't actually 'return' anything that
could be displayed.  Maybe someone else could figure out a way to do this.

 Um I did some research all over and couldn't find CFX_Socket...
 Devex doesn't have it, Google is a no go, and in a last attempt
 CFXSocket.com is not taken
 
 All I could turn up was cfsocket for Mac OS X for Core Foundation...
 
 What in the Hello..

Of course the port 25 block  failover and MX checks might prevent this 
from working as well.

Re: ASP vs. Cold Fusion

2001-08-17 Thread Aaron Rouse

What good would checking to see if a POP server is running do when you want
to try and check if a mail server is running?  Plus, I know of a lot more
restricted POP servers than mail servers, such as TCP wrappers being run on
the POP so that only that network can connect to the POP server.
