Webmaster Forum / ColdFusion / Advanced Techniques / September 2007

We have a scheduled task that checks a mailbox and, depending on the request,
responds to the sender with information from our contact database. It has
worked fine for several years using CF MX 7 Standard and MS Exchange 2000. We
just changed to MS Exchange 2007 and we get an error as follows: "Logon
failure: unknown user name or bad password." We can access the mailbox directly
from Exchange using the account and password, so we think we are passing the
correct information (example below).

<CFPOP ACTION="GetHeaderOnly" SERVER="192.168.1.15" USERNAME="testaccount"
PASSWORD="testpassword" NAME="getMail">

Is there something we're missing? We are certain that the IP, account and
password are still correct. We have assigned this mail server to the Mail tab
in CF Administrator and it can see it and route CFMAILs through it.

Any help is appreciated.
