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!

Rewrite envelope recipient for non-local mail

Asked by clockwatcher in SendMail Email Server

Tags: , ,

This seems like it should be an easy question, but I've been looking for a while and haven't had much luck.

I'd like to rewrite the recipient for particular addresses (not domain-wide) that goes through my sendmail box.  Basically, I want the same type of functionality that aliases provides but for non-local accounts.  Is it possible to do this?  If so, what do I need to do to get it set up.

For example, the machine mail.xyz.com is a relay for the domain abc.com.  I want any email sent to joe.user@abc.com that goes through that box to end up at joe.user@gmail.com.  But, I want it specific for just joe.user@abc.com... email sent to jill.user@abc.com should go through as normal.

I've got this entry in virtusertable:

      joe.user@abc.com    joe.user@gmail.com

And it has no effect, I'm guessing because abc.com is an entry in relay-domain and in mailertable.  I don't want to (and can't) use virtusertable to map the entire domain to something else to get rid of the relay entry:

   @abc.com  to   @internal.abc.com

Because the end box mail.abc.com (an Exchange 5.5 box internal to our network) isn't set up to handle addressing that way and that isn't open to change for the minor problem of forwarding email for a few users.  The Exchange box also answers the question why I don't simply add an alias on the local server to forward the mail once it ultimately gets home--  Exchange doesn't support aliases.Start Free Trial
