Problem connecting to smtp server

[bburkettaz]

I'm getting this error every time I try to send via CFMail.

Could not connect to SMTP host: 10.1.1.83, port: 25; nested exception is:
java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect

I tried to verify the mail server connection and it fails in CF Admin, but it
works from another CF Server in the same domain. We recently made some DNS
changes including adding a reverse lookup zone, but as I said, it is working
from another server in the same domain. I am able to telnet to port 25 on the
smtp server from the cf server that doesn't work.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Did you ever figure out the problem???? I am having the same issue.

I had this issue on one server and not another.

Believe it or not, it cleared by restarting the CF services on the troubled
server.
Try that.

Meanwhile, if you have a recipe for reliably duplicating the problem, please
post it.

Thanks,
