Could not connect to SMTP host: localhost, port: 25

Question

Hi,

The error message is "Could not connect to SMTP host: localhost, port: 25" and it occurs when I tend to use a simple <cfmail> example snippet.

Anything I need to sort out at my end for this?

I am using Windows Vista, CF 8, (with dev.web server).

(P.S I've attached a screenshot my SMTP settings too.)

Thanks in advance!.

1) Debugging mail server SMTP settings: You imply that there is a mail server installed on the local machine. Is that so? If so, which one?

2) Debugging the domain: Do you get same error when you use 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost?

3) Debugging the port: Does a mail client on the machine, say MS Outlook or Outlook Express, send and receive mail? If not, then your firewall might need to open port 25.

4) Debugging proxy: Is the machine behind a proxy? If so, have you configured the connection settings to bypass the proxy for local IP addresses?
