The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

URGENT HELP NEEDED WITH NEW OS X 10.4 INSTALL - SPECIFICALLY MAIL PROBLEMS

Asked by jamest521 in Apple Networking

Tags: failed, open, squat

OK - fresh install of OS X 10.4 on a Xserve G5. Everything running OK but having some client connection issues, as follows:

1. Our ISP hosts DNS for our domain. Everything works for outside clients but I need the internal clients to resolve mail.domainname.com to the local IP address and not the external one. I am afraid that the Apple DNS server (if that is what if I have to use) is not the simplest thing I have ever had to configure (I am used to Windows DNS server). So, I need some instructions from someone who has done this and had it work properly. The main reason for doing this is so that laptop users can use the mail.domainname.com in their mail settings whether inside or outside of the network. (Right now, clients are using the actual internal IP address of the mail server)

2. My IMAP logs show the following entries when a user connects - I am interested to know what SQUAT is and why it might be failing:

3. WEBMAIL: Why does mail sent from the webmail client prepend "mail." to the domain name. I would like mail to display as user@domainname.com irrespective of source. When sent from webmail, it displays as user@mail.domainname.com. How do I override this setting?

Thanks in advance,
J
