Having problems sending CFMAIL on Windows 2003

Try this:

From the Windows 2000/2003 server that has SMTP installed, login as the administrator.

Select Start | Settings | Control Panel | Administrator Tools | Internet

Highlight the Default SMTP Virtual Server, right click and select properties.

Select the "Access" tab, and then the "Relay" button.

Highlight the option for "only the list below" and click the "Add button"

Select Single computer and add the IP address of the ColdFusion server.

Also select the option for "Allow all computers which successfully authenticate to relay, regardless of the list above"
