Question

CFMAIL problem on intranet application

Hello,

I have searched for this problem, but I cannot seem to find the answer.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

here is my problem:

I have a coldfusion intranet application sitting on a client server.  We have two NIC cards in this setup.  One goes to the client network, and IIS and ColdFusion work wonderfully on this IP.  We have another network that goes to a cisco VPN box, which then goes to the internet.  This allows the coldfusion box to have its own internet proxy since we do not have internet access over the client network.

We are finding that CFMAIL over port 25 is trying to use the cisco internet nic port rather than the Client network port.  Is there a way to bind coldfusion to a certain nic port, or do I have to configure sometihng at the OS or hardware level?  I would like to configure it via ColdFusion, but I can't figure this out for the life of me.

Thanks!

Michael

    It's nowt to do with CF: CF doesn't do the IP routing.  It'll be something you'll need to do with you DNS or IP config on that second NIC.

    What do you get if you do a tracert to the SMTP server's address, from the CF server?  Or connect to it with telnet?

    Thanks Adam!

    What you suggested is correct.  I was able to get it working by adding in static routes for the mail hub IP.  I force all traffic over the intranet interface for the mail hub.  I was hoping that there would be something we can put in CF to make this happen, but that does not appear so.  This is not the problem of CF, as any application would have that problem.

    I just need to make a note to add routes in the future incase we port the application to another server.

    Thanks again,

    Michael
