The answer is option (C): Escalate the problem to a server administrator to check for issues with the server
Step-by-step explanation:
Being a Support Technician, you may not be able to determine the main issue with the mail server but may need to escalate further to the next category of individual that will confirm the issue with the mail server, in this case the server administrator as he may have higher access into the server at the back end or may directly liaise with the Private ISP.
