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!

We have been having issues with Bounced Emails at random and mostly Gmail getting bounced to our Exchange server. We are using Microsoft's FrontBridge Filtering service. They have reccomended the foillowing:  
I have contacted our operations and we were able to determine that this issue that you are experiencing with the deferrals may be due because you are using a Cisco firewall. At this time there is a known compatibility issue between Cisco and Postfix. In order to get this resolved you may want to disabled the fixup protocol on the SMTP.
For further questions in regards to this issue you may want to visit the following link http://support.microsoft.com/kb/295725. Please note that when we do a telnet session we receive the following:

My question, I cannot figure out how to disable the postfix or fixup command. I have tried using this string at the command prompt after ENABLING:  FIXUP PROTOCOL SMTP.
There does not appear to be any command for FIXUP.
I dont see anything on the ASDM GUI either.

** UPDATE **

I was forgetting to issue the: CONFIG T command.
I now was able to issue the FIXUP command and disable the feature.

I would like to get any and all input on this issue if there are others that have some advise.


Please advise.

Thanks.
