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!

SMTP - because the target machine actively refused it

Asked by eadam-uk in Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), Programming for ASP.NET, Visual Studio

Tags: port, smtp, asp.net, mail

Hi All,

I have created a script in asp.net & VB that uses the System.Net.Mail class to create an email and send it to a mail server that my ISP hosts. Every time I run the script I get the error message:

@No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:25

I have done some reading around it and have tried all the suggestions such as: checking/adding credentials, checking firewall, etc. I have also worked with the ISP on different IP's and ports, but still no job. I have set my machine as the DMZ on my router in the hope that would circumnavigate any router problems, and have also published the site to the web server but each time the issue arises.

Any ideas?
