As Paul pointed out you should be able to restrict MS SMTP to your CF IP. The fact that you are getting bombed by other mail providers is a sign that quite possibly there have been bad things happening at that IP in the past. Sort of like bees knowing where the honey is. At a guess you were running the service without the restrictions below in the past? Looked at MS SMTP. Looks pretty straightforward. Click Properties and, on the Access tab, set the IP for the CF server in both Connection Control and Relay Restrictions. Make that the only one allowed. The bad guys are pounding on the default port 25 when you switch on the service, so change it. On the General tab click Advanced next to the IP address and change the port to something safe and different, like 2526. That should keep the rain off your tin roof, so to speak. When you set up the CF mail settings, be sure to send mail via the port you set up above. I'm no expert on IIS SMTP, so anyone please chime in with anything I missed. -- --mattRobertson-- Janitor, MSB Web Systems mysecretbase.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
