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!

How do I trace the route from my machine to the smtp server?

Asked by Ederwainer in ISPs & Web Hosting, Email Servers, Networking

Many of my clients began to have trouble while sending email.
We use godaddy as our mail server and the smtp sometimes do not respond from our email client.

So I tested the smtp server from a remote website and the server is up all the time, however many times during the day we cannot connect from our local machines. This is happening many times during the day and godaddy keep saying the server is not failing, and I believe them.

Now I need a way to trace a route all the way to the smtp server, so I might find where the request is being broken.

If you guys could help, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks!

Eder
