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 Mail Relay Question

Asked by jhsit in Exchange Email Server, SendMail Email Server, Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP)

Summary:
Our company is looking to deploy a mail relay server for mass marketing and member update e-mails, while complying with common SPAM filtering practices (i.e. valid opt in and/or out information, external MX, A, SPF, and PTR records, mail delivery retry intervals, etc&). Recently, we had attempted to deploy a Windows 2003 IIS server configured with multiple SMTP virtual servers for each domain that our outgoing e-mails originated from. The deal breaker with the Microsoft solution is that we arent able to control which IP address the server specifies in the e-mail header and all e-mails regardless of the domain name and private IP are reflecting one public IP address (headers reflect server primary NAT). This is a huge issue given the fact that Earthlink, AOL, Yahoo, and various other companies block e-mail by IP instead of domain names.  Ive provided the following information and example below.

Information:
Host Machine Primary IP address: 192.168.1.1
Host Public IP address: 218.206.12.x
Cisco Pix has Translation rule with mailguard disabled
Machine has one NIC with multiple virtual IPs

Virtual SMTP Internal IP: 192.168.1.2
Domain: relay.DomainA.com
Public IP: 218.206.12.y  
Cisco Pix has Translation rule

Virtual SMTP Internal IP: 192.168.1.3
Domain: relay.DomainB.com
Public IP: 218.206.12.z
Cisco Pix has Translation rule

Example External Mail Headers:
DomainA:
 Received: from relay.DomainA.com (unknown [218.206.12.x])
               by c9mailgw25.amadis.com (Postfix) with ESMTP id CD28739F51A
               for <name@domain.com>; Tue,  9 Oct 2007 10:34:33 -0700 (PDT)

DomainB:
 Received: from relay.DomainB.com (unknown [218.206.12.x])
               by c9mailgw25.amadis.com (Postfix) with ESMTP id CD28739F61B
            for <name@domain.com>; Tue,  9 Oct 2007 10:35:44 -0700 (PDT)

Question:
Does anyone know of an open source mail server solution like Sendmail or Postfix that will allow for us to specify the outgoing IP address based on the virtual server and/or domain?
