RE: can't connect to mail server
Check your /cfusion/mail/undelivr directory for a backlog of undelivered emails. Check your /cfusion/log/mail.log for specific error messages that the mail server sends back. Make sure you have permission to relay on the mail server. Since CF cannot pass a username/password combo to the mail server for authentication that means that the mail server must be able to relay based upon your CF server's IP address. ---mark = Mark Warrick - Fusioneers.com Personal Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Business Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: 714-547-5386 Efax: 801-730-7289 Personal URL: http://www.warrick.net Business URL: http://www.fusioneers.com ICQ: 125160 / AIM: markwarric = > -Original Message- > From: S R [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, July 31, 2001 1:39 PM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: can't connect to mail server > > > Are there any ideas as to why Cold Fusion cannot connect to a > mail server? > You can rule out the mail server being down or change of address > because I > just tested it using a non-cold fusion program and I received an > email.

Re: can't connect to mail server
Is this your mail server? If not, the mail server administrator may have decided you are sending too much email and shut you off.:o)) Sounds like the most likely thing if you haven't changed anything on your CF Server. I just recently installed CF 5 and could not connect to my own mail server that was connected by a cross over cable. After trying everything 'I' could think of, re-installing CF 5 fixed the problem.

RE: can't connect to mail server
Anything in the mail server log? Is it possible that some anti-spam options are turned on that are preventing CF from connecting?

RE: can't connect to mail server
There is a big difference between receiving mail and sending mail. They use different protocols to send mail you use SMTP (port 25), and to receive you use POP3 (port 110) or IMAP. So your SMTP server could be down, and your POP3 server is still running. A lot of times the SMTP server is on a different physical server than the POP3. You can test your connection by logging in to a unix shell and typing $> telnet mymailserver.com 25 it should connect, if not you have a problem, I suspect CF uses a similar method to test the connection (probably not telnet, just a raw socket connection).
