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!

SBS Premium 2003 - Exchange: random repeating emails

Asked by realitybytes in Watchguard Firewall, Exchange Email Server, SBS Small Business Server

Tags: exchange, repeating, 2003, emails

Every so often, one of the users on our network will receive an email over and over again. This is a seemingly random problem. More often than not, the email includes an attachment, and the attachment is almost always corrupted. But there have been exceptions to both of these characteristics.

These are legitimate (not SPAM) emails from senders who have sent many emails before and since the repeating email. The same sender coould send another email on thesame day and the problem does not recur. I have been completely unsuccessful in trying to recreate the problem. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to the issue.

We are using Windows Small Business Server Premium 2003 with Microsoft Exchange 2003 as the email server. I've read through several different questions that seem to describe a similar problem. But the answer is almost always something to do with POP3. We are NOT using POP3. We are using SMTP. I've also seen one question where the problem was identified as SPAM SOAP. We are not using that product.

We are using GFI Mail Archiver 4 to archive our email, and GFI Mail Essentials for SPAM filtering. We also use Watchguard Firewall X700 Core. I read one question where a Hardware Firewall was identified as a possible cause of a similar problem. But after reading the referenced document, I was unable to resolve this problem.

Most of the people who have asked this question have ended up not getting a satisfactory resolution, and usually the question ends up being abandoned. I am asking again because my users are getting quite frustrated and are asking me to fix the problem. If you have any useful information or know of anyone who has had this problem and resolved it, I would be very grateful to know the answer.

Thank you in Advance
