Big Time Email Problem with CF Admin

[Scooby Doobie Doo]

I sent email through my local SMTP server just fine, UNLESS the domain name is
the same as my outgoing from addresss.

I sent from [email]web@ergo.com[/email] to [email]randomuser@ergo.com[/email] and it WILL NOT RECEIVE IT,
although the CF ADMIN says it sent fine. If I telnet to the exhange server at
ergo.com from the web server, it sends fine.

ALL OTHER EMAIL IS SENT, only those with the same domain name do not get sent.
Any ideas.

I have no hair left.

Check your mail server logs. CFMAIL doesn't actually send anything. It hands
mail off to the mail server, who then takes responsibility for it. Your 'sent
fine' log entries are only telling you that the mail server accepted
responsibility for the message.

Here's my mail log, I have no idea what any of this means though, any help in
understanding what might be wrong here would be appreciated.

[jorgepino]

check you coldfusion email logsand also check this directory for undelivered email
x:\CFusionMX7\Mail\Undelivr

let me know what you find

[jorgepino]

also,, does email account [email]web@ergo.com[/email] exist in you mail server?

[Typheous]

Is the mail server for this address and the web server sending the mail the
same server?

You may have problems receiving the mail if the mail server is an additional
one that services the webserver only and is on the same box. The domain may not
be listed as an outgoing domain on the web server. Meaning basically that it
is delivering the mail to itself because it thinks that it is the domains mail
server. But I don't know your setup and may be way off base.

:)

[Scooby Doobie Doo]

No, it's not hte same server. Cold Fusion sends mail using the SMTP server on the web box. The mail server that isn't getting the mail is an exchange server on a different box.

[Typheous]

Right, and if the SMTP server on the web server thinks that the ergo.com is a local domain it will NOT let the mail off the server.

[Scooby Doobie Doo]

How would it think it's a local domain? I've not added that domain to the
server anywhere. I can't figure out why all other email sends except that
domain. Is it because it's the same domain as my FROM email address?
[email]me@ergo.com[/email] ? Is that why it thinks it's on that server? It's not, I just use
that email address,b ut it's not hte actual server I' m on.
