getting CFMAIL to dance with Microsoft Exchange
Before anyone says OH MY GOD...MICROSOFT EXCHANGE..WHY??!! It's what my company uses I can't change it :) All I'm trying to do is get my ColdFusion server to talk to the mail server, which happens to be Exchange. The user names that they are giving me are in the form domain\username and a password. Every combination I've tried has gotten a connection refused error. Does the Exchange server, or the account need to be configured in a certain way for this to work? thanks -- Scott Stewart Adobe Certified Expert / Instructor ColdFusion 8, 9 ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:353769 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
RE: getting CFMAIL to dance with Microsoft Exchange
OH MY GOD...MICROSOFT EXCHANGE Exchange is a great mail system and CF integrates with it quite well. Configuration is a bear but once done it works great. It's most likely security settings or allowed connections on the Exchange server; could also be settings on the domain server. For that you may need a MCSE to give you a hand. There are a lot of settings that could be causing the problem.

Re: getting CFMAIL to dance with Microsoft Exchange
By default exchange uses mapi, you will pron need to ask your sysadmin to enable imap so cf can talk to it. Also the username may be any of these depending how exchange is setup.

Are you just trying to use CFMAIL? If so, the Exchange server may need to be configured to accept SMTP connections from your server. If you're trying to do something else, like read mail, you might need to use CFEXCHANGE for MAPI access.
