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!

windows sbs 2003 open relay?

Asked by tvacc in SBS Small Business Server, Exchange Email Server

Tags: , , ,

Okay, confusing situation here with a possible open-relay. Here's the situation:

I have a SBS 2003 server running Exchange 2003. All of our outgoing mail is sent through a smarthost (smtp connector is configured to send through our isp's mail server).

All of a sudden today our emails are getting bounced back and I called our ISP to figure out if we were blocked for some reason. They say that they think we're blocked due to sending out more than 1000 emails in a day or hour, whichever comes first. I say that's probably not possible, so I take a look at the usage logs on our SBS 2003 server. Administrator has sent over 7000 emails to external addresses in the past day.

So, I run the connect to the internet wizard to see if that fixes any possible open-relay issue. It completes successfully.

I check the following sites with the following results:

mxtoolbox.com: NOT an open relay
dnsgoodies.com: YES I am an open relay
http://verify.abuse.net/cgi-bin/relaytest: First 7 tests say NO, but the last test says YES I am an open-relay.
dnsstuff.com: NOT an open-relay

So what's going on. I need to get this resolved ASAP and I'm confused as to what's even going on.Start Free Trial
