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!

Emails not getting from Exchange Server to mailbox

Asked by jbromley in Email Clients, Exchange Email Server, SBS Small Business Server

Problem with Exchange Server emails.

Okay, setup is we have SBS 2003, with exchange server running. On Thursday of last week we had a major power failure in the building and all computers and routers BUT the servers turned off. Upon restarting all seemed to be okay....

Friday nobody was in the office due to a works conference, which all staff attended.

Monday morning I come in to find that nobody has received any emails over the weekend. Obviously this is rather concerning. I check out mail relay (external spam filter) and find that there were several hundred messages throughout the company which were sent to our server, and received. Then checked our exchange system log and find that they were received by the server, but then NOT forwarded onto the relevant mailboxes. Exchange had been trying for two days to send the message every five minutes, but eventually given up and generated an NDR.

I rebooted the server this morning, and that seems to have solved the immediate problem in that NEW messages are getting through, HOWEVER, the real issue is all these messages send over Friday and the weekend which have had NDRs generated for them. I assume these have been deleted from the server and we have no way of retrieving them. Could anybody confirm this, or if there is a way PLEASE let me know how to do it.

Finally, is there any way of changing the length of time which the messages are retried. Obviously it only takes a long weekend for all the messages to get lost. Can it be set to 4 or 5 days?Start Free Trial
