Zimbra installation and configuration (internal use only)

           The mail system
[email protected]: Host or domain name not found. Name service error for
name=yourmail.com type=A: Host found but no data record of requested type

Right, so there is your answer. Host or domain name not found. The sending system has not record for the receiving system, it has no idea where to send the mail. So DNS is the problem.

Email is unidirectional. The ability to receive tells you nothing about the ability to send.

@scottalanmiller DNS problem in Zimbra Server >??

nagendra

any help on this

scottalanmiller

Those DNS responses are quite different. Is one coming back from the DNS servers publicly and one from the local DNS?

nagendra

yes from yourmail.studio is correct but from yourmail.com is pointing to our AD

scottalanmiller

And the info that it is returning is the correct name of the email server?

nagendra

no its not correct

no its not correct

Then you need to go into your AD DNS server and change it so that it is correct.

So DNS lookups are correct now?

nagendra

There are only so many possibilities..... if you get the wrong answer from DNS, then DNS is wrong. DNS needs to be corrected. Either you need to look to the right server for resolution, or you need to change what is in that DNS.

nagendra
