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!

Does error 550-'sorry, no mailbox here by that name' have anything to do with DNS propagation?

Asked by Diamond1IT in Domain Name Service (DNS), TCP/IP, Email Servers

Hello,
Here's the situation:  The company I started working for has been hosting their website diamond1.com with Yahoo! who is also their registrar.  I needed MSSQL and ASP.NET 2.0 capabilities so I opened a new hosting acount with ixwebhosting.com, designed a new website then on 6/27/09 switched the Name Servers to point to ixwebhosting.com using the Yahoo! Domain Control Panel.  Within an hour, the new web site was visible (resolving to the new IP).  I set all Outllook settings to send/receive using the mail.diamond1co.com mail server, then tested sending and receiving to various users@diamond1co.com and went home for the day!
On Monday, a friend who tried to email me called and said she got the email kicked back immediately.  I tested an email from live.com and got the same result:

Reporting-MTA: dns; ironport2.opentransfer.com
Final-Recipient: rfc822;greg@diamond1co.com
Action: failed
Status: 5.0.0 (permanent failure)
Remote-MTA: dns; [76.162.254.78]
Diagnostic-Code: smtp; 5.1.0 - Unknown address error 550-'sorry, no mailbox here by that name (#5.1.1)' (delivery attempts: 0)

I had a panic attack and assumed I did something wrong, and changed the MX record at Yahoo (which was totally wrong) ixwebhosting is taking care of the Name Servers, but it changed the date I updated the name servers to 30-Jun-09.  Now everyone is telling me to wait patiently until Friday.

I have contacted Yahoo! support to see if there was anything I could have missed, they tell me they can't help me because I changed the name servers to an outside company (ixwebhosting.com)

Ixwebhosting.com tells me to be patient, the DNS propagation is still taking place.  This is where my gut is telling me there is something else wrong due to the error message (above).  It seems like it's finding the mail server, but the mail server can't find the mailbox.

My boss gave me until Monday to get SOMETHING working.  What would you do?  Switch back to the Yahoo! hosting?  Wait til Friday?  Then what?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
