I am assuming this is your Zimbra Forum Post:

Ithe past I have been doing this:
https://wiki.zimbra.com/wiki/Relay_per_Domain
And it works well but for you it is not.
My question also would be, are you doing SPLIT DNS on this one server setup? -
This is definitely a complex and unusual configuration, not one I've had to work with before. This will take some research.

@dbeato
Yes, you got it. The one in zimbra is my first try. It seemed well but I'm unsure if domain2.com really routes to smtp.external2.com. I was pretty impressed by myself having set it up the way I wanted and I have not tried to check the header. :persevering_face:When it broke, I tried to set it up again. This time, I have checked the header and external email is not routing as expected, it instead routes to mtp.external2.com.
After several months, I'd opened the topic in SW.

@dbeato
I think it would work if only one domain, but as SAM is pointing out, it seems that I may have an unusual configuration.@SAM
Thanks. Presently, we have an almost similar setup (in terms of relay/smart host but both is on different physical machine and sending to each other means to send or route to our external server. -

It's just not his username.

That would confuse even me.

Sorry, I haven't been able to connect to that Zimbra server... I am wondering why. Let me report back.
-
@dbeato Thanks! I was just wondering where my setup went wrong...in all of my tests :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: for the last 1.5 to 2 years

There is nothing wrong with what you setup and I have that file on my Zimbra server so I am not sure what is different from yours.
-
I also think so...but setups are stating otherwise. I think I have the local bind9 working as dig works and the first domain is working fine.

So you are doing split DNS correct? If so, you need to add that domain there as well.
-
@dbeato No, not doing split dns (well, I just don't get an idea of splitdns so I was thinking it was not implemented). Just simple bind9 implementation making sure it recognize itself as postoffice.domain1.com and itself and the other mail servers (external1.com and external2.com) as mx.
-
nxlookup and dig is working as expected and seeing itself, including the mx records.
-
Domain in network is still domain.local.
-
/etc/hostname is postoffice.domain1.com
-
/etc/hosts:
127.0.0.1
192.168.0.1 postoffice.domain1.com postoffice
119.93.x.x smtp.external1.com smtp
