    CF will need email server defined in CFadmin and be able to verify connection:

    Exchange server will need port 25 open (firewall) to CF and may need authentication as well as relay rules allowed.

    Whenever I setup a new CF server, and do the mail setup as shown above, I also need to tell the group that admin's the Exchange server what the name/IP of my new server is, so that they can allow it to relay to their SMTP server.  If I don't do that, everything looks OK in CF when I send mail, but it doesn't go through.  I think they have separate relaying rules for internal SMTP traffic and external traffic.

    Use telnet and SMTP commands to check for relay problem. Add telnet client (Windows feature) or some other telnet application. EG.

     

    telnet 10.0.0.1 25

    220 Microsoft ESMTP MAIL Service, Version:  ready

    helo

    250  Hello [10.0.0.2]

    mail from:noreply@domain

    250 2.1.0 noreply@domain....Sender OK

    rcpt to:noreply@external_domain

    550 5.7.1 Unable to relay for noreply@external_domain

     

    Adjust Exchange relay rules test again...

     

    220 Microsoft ESMTP MAIL Service, Version:  ready

     

    helo

    250  Hello [10.0.0.2]

    mail from:noreply@domain

    250 2.1.0 noreply@domain....Sender OK

    rcpt to:noreply@external_domain

    data

    354 Start mail input; end with <CRLF>.<CRLF>

    subject:test from cmd

    message text

    .

    250  <Bla@domain> Queued mail for delivery

     

    Now your cfmail should work.

     

    HTH, Carl.
