OK. Thanks for the clarifications, but I'm not ready to give up yet. :-) To answer your first question, the question really wouldn't be whether "CF10 use[s] any other port to communicate with the smtp server other than the specified port (25)?" The port is defined by the smtp server, and CF would be told to use it. I assume you are telling it (cf10) to use that port, just as I assume you are telling the CF 9 admin to use the same port. And the servernames (for the smtp server) are absolutely ideintical, you say, right?
It would be very odd then that 2 CF servers on the same box would not both be able to connect to a given remote server. So to dig a little further, I want to confirm some things. Some of my questions may sound "out there", but I've learned to ask the "dumb questions" that make sure there are no mistaken assumption at the root of the apparent "bug". :-) So let's be really clear here: - are you saying that the CF9 is installed on this "same box" right now? I just ask because if it's really that 9 was installed previously, and this is your recollection, we can't know for sure it wouldn't have "failed" now. I realize you said "both deployments are on the same box". I just want to make 100% sure you meant that. - assuming both are installed now, are you visiting the URL for the CF9 and 10 admins as the same ip or domain (or localhost)? If not, you could be looking at the admin for some other box. Again, this is one of those ones that could trip someone up, unsuspecting. In fact, unless you're using localhost or 127.0.0.1, I'd even go so far as to suggest you stop CF on the box (one at a time) and confirm that indeed the respective admin you're using "fails". - assuming you would say both are the same domain, or that test passes, then if you go onto the server and go to the command prompt and do a ping of the server, or a telnet to port 25, what does it say? (let us know if you need more help doing those.) We would expect that if it works for CF9 on that box, then a ping of that server or (for sure) a telnet to its port 25 should work from the command prompt. But then, if it fails for CF10, it should fail for the server. I can't see how CF10 would uniquely have a problem, if all else is the same on CF9. - Finally, have you updated CF10 to the latest update (11)? Let us know. /charlie From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jayaraman, Viswanathan Sent: Thursday, November 07, 2013 1:56 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [ACFUG Discuss] CFmail issue with CF10 My responses in red Jay Jayaraman Central Billing Services Financial Management and Planning (404) 273-7131 (C) From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Charlie Arehart Sent: Wednesday, November 06, 2013 9:23 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [ACFUG Discuss] CFmail issue with CF10 Are you saying that the CF9 and CF10 deployments are on the same box? Yes. Both deployments are in the same box If not, the "unreachable" could be that there's some firewall on the smtp server that is opened to the cf9 box and not the cf10, or something like that. Both settings use the same Server name and port. Does CF10 use any other port to communicate with the smtp server other than the specified port (25)? Also, are you referring to the CF Admin "Mail" page settings (as opposed to code doing a CFMAIL, which can override that)? Yes. I also tried to override with in cfmail with the same result. if your focus is the Admin settings, then besides the address and port fields, check out (on both servers) the other settings in the admin page. Maybe some of the checkboxes are not in sync between the two. All the other settings were the same between CF9 and CF10. Verified that. Finally, are you seeing this message when you check the "verify" checkbox on that page and submit it? Error message "Connection Verification Failed!" when I check the Verify checkbox and submit it Or is this in your logs? When I try the CFMail tag with or without the hard-coded values of server and port, The following error message is in the mail.log javax.mail.MessagingException: Could not connect to SMTP host: <host address>, port: 25; nested exception is: java.net.SocketException: Network is unreachable: connect" If the latter, are you SURE it's coming from the CF Admin settings and not some hard-coded values on CFMAIL tags within your server's apps? Let us know how that goes. /charlie ------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------
