CF5.0, on Win 2k server. IIS. I recently switched my mail server in cf admin to 127.0.0.1 (Previously, it was a dedicated mail server, also referenced via IP). Since then I am getting many smtp;504 pcname: Helo command rejected: need fully-qualified hostname when I send using CFMAIL. What do I need to configure here, and of course, how?

Re: mail getting rejected
This is a BIG question. Since your trying to use localhost (127.0.0.1) as your mail server you need to make sure you really have a SMTP server running at that IP address and identify which port it is listening on. This is normally port 25. Does the cfadmin 'Verify mail server Connection' show the connection to the mail server is valid? If there is a valid SMPT server and if verifies in CF Admin then I'm guessing you have to work on your mail server configuration. Since a basic cfmail tag with the very basic required attributes (to,from,subject, message) usually will not fail unless the mail server is not allowing email for some reason. One reason could be authentication is required (as it should be) you may need to use an username and password. This should get you started on the path to getting this working.

RE: mail getting rejected
Hi Wil, First off, many thanks for your reply. My problem, other than not knowing much at all about mail servers, is that a lot of mail IS being delivered. Which led me to believe that the mechanics are all OK, and maybe I was being rejected by the recipient for some reason. Any ideas would be most welcome, or is this another BIG groan question?
