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!

Are Exchange 2003 Event ID 3015 and SMTP 4.4.7 Errors Related?

Asked by JayneCobb in Exchange Email Server, SBS Small Business Server, Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP)

Tags: Microsoft, Small Business Server 2003, Exchange 2003, Event ID 3015 and SMTP Error 4.4.7

Twice last week my Windows Small Business Server 2003 daily performance reports listed an error I haven't seen before. Specifically, it listed an MSExchangeTransport Event ID: 3015 error with a single occurrence. The occurrence in question was an email message sent to a user account at sbcglobal.net.

I researched the error, and most of the documentation I found indicated the issue required using WinRoute to track routing groups or a bad pointer record. I confirmed with the ISP (Time Warner) that the server's PTR and Reverse DNS records are properly configured. Further, the domain is not listed on any spam/block lists I could find. There really aren't any routing groups in place, that I'm aware of, because this is a simple SBS 2003 setup.

Other information indicated the Microsoft Exchange MTA Stacks may be the culprit (if it's stalled). So I checked the server's MTA Stacks service. It was Disabled. So I set it to Automatic and dismounted and mounted the Exchange store. I'm still unable to send email from this domain to Bellsouth.net email accounts.

Then today staff began experiencing difficulty sending email to Bellsouth.net addresses. Those messages generate the following DNR report:

The following recipient(s) cannot be reached:
      Persons Name (personsname@bellsouth.net) on 5/22/2008 11:46 AM
            Could not deliver the message in the time limit specified.  Please retry or contact your administrator.
            <mydomain.com #4.4.7>

Are these errors related? Why might this server be experiencing Exchange routing/delivery issues out of the blue?
