Connection Verification Failed while attempting to verify mail setting in ColdFusion 10 administrator

I am using ColdFusion 10 in windows server 2008 R2. In administrator, i am getting connection error while verifying the mail server settings.

I am using the below settings, 

server : smtp.gmail.com 
port: 465
Username : [email protected] 
password: xxxxxxxx

and checked Enable SSL socket connection to mail server.

With this settings, i am getting the error "Connection Verification Failed !".

Solution

  • I have also faced this same issue and solved it by changing the port from 465 to 587.

    In ColdFusion Administrator check the 'Enable TLS Connection to mail server' check box and remove check from 'Enable SSL connection to mail server'.

    Now you can verify the connection.

    Thanks
