Solved Zimbra installation and configuration (internal use only)
-
@nagendra Zimbra needs just a few things to change the IP address:
- hostname must match the IP address (check that /etc/hosts is correct, and reports the right name of the zimbra machine)
- you must have the right IP address in zimbraMtaMyNetworks:
as zimbra user,
zmprov ms <yourmailserverfullname> zimbraMtaMyNetworks '127.0.0.1/8 192.168.4.0/16 <otherIPrangesyouneed>' - execute as zimbra user
postfix reload
and
postconf mynetworks
to check that everything is correct.
If you use an external dns server, make sure it returns the correct results for your changed IP.

guys need help
we have one more mail server in our premises @yourmail.com Zimbra is in @yourmail.studio we are trying to send email from @yourmail.studio to @yourmail.com its not working but we are able to receive mails from @yourmail.com
any solution?? -
Start with DNS for anything like this. Figure out how each server will look up the other.
Second, look at the error messages and see why it says that it was not sent.
-
This is the mail system at host mail.yourmail.studio.
I'm sorry to have to inform you that your message could not
be delivered to one or more recipients. It's attached below.
For further assistance, please send mail to postmaster.
If you do so, please include this problem report. You can
delete your own text from the attached returned message.
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 -

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 typeRight, 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.

any help on this
-
Those DNS responses are quite different. Is one coming back from the DNS servers publicly and one from the local DNS?
-
yes from yourmail.studio is correct but from yourmail.com is pointing to our AD
-
And the info that it is returning is the correct name of the email server?
-
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.

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.
