I am new to coldfusion - so please talk slow. I have CF mx 7 std on Windows
2003 std with IIS 6 - and excahange 2003 std. all on same box. I am trying to
send some emails using cfmail and I am pretty sure the code is okay - the query
is also fine (verified with cfdump). But here is the problem - the email is
going to multiple addresses some internal (using full address name) and some
external i.e. nothere(a)somewhereelse.com . My internal users are receiving the
email the external are not. I have an astaro appliance firewall. Any
suggestions welcome - how do I trouble shoot if it is CF, exchange, or my
firewall.

Thanks for the help.

Okay - some further information - still need help - but now it I can probably
rule out firewall - and likely the excahnge server.

logged error msg in coldfusion on all out bound addresses reads:
Invalid Addresses; nested exception is: class javax.mail.SendFailedException:
550 5.7.1 Unable to relay for someone(a)somewhere.com (not the actual address -
the addresses are valid - no problem sending to them through Outlook)

Figured it out - and ashamed I ever asked. But incase someone else out there
has the same brain lapse I did .. here is what I did (I hate finding the
question I am looking for just to see a post saying "nevermind" so i like to
post the answer even to my own stupid questions)

Once i saw the error msg in CFmX - it didn't take long to fix - took me longer
to set up an outside account to test. On your excahnge box - Excahnge System
manager - expand your virtual server (the one cold fusion points to) - expand
the protocols (this could be different depending on if you have administrative
views running) - expand SMTP - then right click the Default SMTP Virtual
Server - click properties

In the Access Tab - click Relay - add the IP address to allowed computers
(note: the Allow all computers which successfully authenicate to relay ...
check box) you still need to have the IP, even if coldfusion is on the same box
- added to allowed computers.)

At least that fixed it for me.
