getting CFMAIL to dance with Microsoft Exchange

[hofar...@houseoffusion.com]

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

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.

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.
