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.

SMTP protocol event sink issue

Asked by queens2007 in Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), Exchange Email Server, SBS Small Business Server

Tags: , , ,

Hi there,
I have a SBS2003 server running exchange 2003.
For the past few months I have experienced a very strange issue with regards to protocol event sinks cuasing my queue on a SMTP connector set up to route to a smart-host to populate with messages.
The thing is. My account is a domain admin and exchange admin. The issue I am having is mail goes through this connector perfectly, only certain users and sometimes depending on the attachment in their e-mail causes mail to get stuck as SMTP protocol event sinks.
I have tried many resolutions posted on the net, but none seems to be working for me.
I have registered the COM's, reinstalled SP....etc
The best practises analyser tool does not pick up the issue, nor does the support ap for exchange.

I have done a simple test; I have two PC's, we use bespoke software to send out mail that automatically attches a newsletter to an e-mail.
When I send this from my PC as as an administrator the mail routes ok to the external domain with no issues.
When I send the exact same mail using another users account, the mail gets stuck in exchange as a SMTP protocol event sink.

However if the newsletter is not attached in the mail, any mail routes ok.
This is only a problem when the letter is attached via the bespoke software and only occurs on users other than myself.

Any help would be of great benefit.

Thanks,
