> We depend on an email server that is not under our control. More often than we would like, the email server is down, effecting several of our applications that depend on email to complete a user request. The project officer has asked if we can establish our own email server. ** I'm with John, install an SMTP server on the CF server. Depends on your OS as to how/what to install.
On a related matter, the ColdFusion administrator allows us to specify backup email servers, which I have done. However, this feature doesn't work, and the email administrator said it probably won't work for reasons that I can't recall. Anyone have experience successfully failing over to a backup mail server? ** If the failing email server successfully accepts mail from CF but never sends, then CF will have no way of knowing to use the backup server. /m ed ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Ed Szwedo Web Development Team Lead CSC E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 919-541-3955 (Voice) 919-541-3719 (Fax) ------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, manage your profile @ http://www.acfug.org?fa=login.edituserform For more info, see http://www.acfug.org/mailinglists Archive @ http://www.mail-archive.com/discussion%40acfug.org/ List hosted by http://www.fusionlink.com ------------------------------------------------------------- < Mischa Uppelschoten The Banker's Exchange, Inc. 2020 Hills Avenue NW Atlanta, GA 30318 Phone: (404) 605-0100 ext. 10 Fax: (404) 355-7930 Web: www.BankersX.com Follow this link for Instant Web Chat: http://www.bankersx.com/Contact/chat.cfm?Queue=MUPPELSCHOTEN ------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, manage your profile @ http://www.acfug.org?fa=login.edituserform For more info, see http://www.acfug.org/mailinglists Archive @ http://www.mail-archive.com/discussion%40acfug.org/ List hosted by http://www.fusionlink.com -------------------------------------------------------------
