CFMAIL problem with SMTP Server

[ketankshah]

I am facing a problem while sending email thru CFMAIL tag. I have two servers, one for Coldfusion (CFSERVER) and another for mail(MAILSERVER).

When I give MAILSERVER in the coldfusion administrator page for mail settings and verify it, it is showing a successful connection. But when running a sample mail template, it execute the page without any error but not getting any email. I have checked in the mailroot folder of the MAILSERVER but not entry has been registered. I have checked the log file of the CFUSION/LOG directory and the CFUSION\MAIL\UNDELIVR folder also but not entry has been found there.

Where I use CFSERVER in the administrator page for mail settings, it fails the verification and on sending the mail it registers an error in the log file as well as shows the mail in the UNDELIVR folder.

What should be the problem?

On MAILSERVER, other application such as OUTLOOK EXPRESS works fine which means that SMTP server is working fine on that server.

Please help.

I just started doing email through CF, so I may be way off base, but do you have the correct server port? When I set mine up, CF Administrator showed a default port of 25, which works for me, but maybe yours is different? Like you, we have a dedicated mail server, and all I had to do was enter the name of the server. Just a thought. If I'm all wet, I'm sure someone will let me know. Calista :-X

My apologies if you already checked on that. I don't mean to insult anyone's intelligence. I've had more than my share of "Duh!" moments. Calista :-X
