We were still having the same problem until we switched our Cold Fusion servers to use our co-lo's smtp server for the time being.
This is what we found out. We run a couple of Cold Fusion Web servers that have automated replies to the from address after a visitor completes an online form (i.e. registration, feedback, etc.) These get sent to the IMail server port 25, however in turn not being delivered due to MX Connect failure to outside servers. If the From Address was to one of our domains that we host - then no problem. However, to an outside server - we would get MX Connect Failure. We checked to make sure we have the CF Param and Message ID header that the CF tag creates, and all appears correct. This just started happening this weekend and we have not changed any code. Any help why this is happening most appreciated. -Don S. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:IMail_Forum- > [EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of R.
