Brad, What they are most likely recommending is that you setup a virtual SMTP server in IIS on your coldFusion server. It's a very simple setup. This way you avoid any network problems which may cause CF to not send out mail. CF doesn't have a retry option and certain MM reps will tell you that this is intentional... although if there is the smallest issue in delivering mail, cf will just give up and say it couldnt be delivered (like network connectivity, or if your SMTP server is too bust to handle the request at that split second)
However IIS's virtual SMTP server does will alleviate most of these issues. Just setup the server and point CF to deliver mail to 127.0.0.1. IIS's server can try multiple times and will also diver you non-delivery reports. -Adam On Apr 7, 2005 2:18 AM, Jochem van Dieten <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Brad Roberts wrote: > > I'm having trouble sending email on my dedicated server.
