Okay I made the change. In CFADMIN I went in and set the Mail server to my IP address and changed the Server port submited the change and checked Verify. Got a Connection Verification Failed! error message. I went into IIS again and SMTP and chenged the Authentication to Annonymus. Stopped and started SMTP, went back into CFADMIN and tired again and got the Connection Verification Failed! error message again?
