Question

ColdFusion 8 - SMTP Setup from CF7 not working

In ColdFusion MX 7 we had no issues using a hosted SMTP server for outgoing mail. In ColdFusion 8 it no longer works. For example in ColdFusion MX 7 there was one field for the SMTP server which included the user and password but now it is three different fields (i.e. server, user, and password). Our SMTP connection string in ColdFusion MX 7 was username@ourdomain.com:password@smtp.hostdomain.com. This worked fine and numerous hosting services have the hosted domain in their username. In ColdFusion 8 there are three fields and the mail server will not verify using identical settings to CF7 (i.e. same port number, same security settings, etc). Anyone know how to work around this? I have tried leaving the username and password fields blank and using username@ourdomain.com:password@smtp.hostdomain.com in the server field as well as splitting out the pieces normally.

    Never mind. This is caused by my other issue where I needed to disable one of the two network cards on the system for the regular install of JRun4 to work properly (it doesn't run on both cards by default nor is there a config page in JRun Administrator to choose which network card to run on). The JRun network card I disabled is the one with access to the outside world where the SMTP server is currently located for sending CF created e-mails. The other network card is the internal network which Apache communicates to JRun over.
