Working on configuring ACF10 mail on Windows Server 2012. I followed these
steps:

http://blog.hyperfive.com/2013/07/how-to-setup-internal-smtp-service-for.html

...but, in ACF10 admin interface Server Settings > Mail when I set Mail
Server to localhost, check Verify mail server connection, and click Submit,
I get Connection Verification Failed!

Any ideas what I'm missing?

In the SMTP Server properties, I changed the IP from one of the IP's on the
box to "all unassigned" and it worked.

Next question: resulting plaintext emails appear to have carriage returns /
line feeds stripped out. Any idea how to get those back?

are you sure you do not have the emails set to send as HTML ?

Careful with that, make sure you aren't opening up an open mail relay if
you have public IP space on the server.

You can do a check with some online tools like this.

Yes. The code didn't change. Just moved from 32 bit Windows Server 2003
to 64 bit Windows Server 2012 and 32 bit ACF10 to 64 bit ACF10.

Have you looked at the raw source of the email to make sure that CF is not
placing the text in an html mailpart?

No. Interestingly, it appears that some carriage returns / line feeds
remain. The ones that got stripped out are ones inside of:

<cfmail>
<cfloop>#loop.output#
</cfloop>
</cfmail>

...where that carriage return / line feed between #loop.output# and </cfloop>
is not coming through and all elements of the loop are output on one line.
This worked in my 32 bit environment. Encoding issue?
