Hope that someone can help on my trial installation of zcs 5.0 on a sles10 server. My first try failed with a dns error and although the installation of ZCS completed when you look at the admin console the mta service is not running.

The server is behind a firewall and I have opened port 25 to the servers internal ip address.

So far I am using a test domain (simonpope.co.uk) before I commit and move to our live domain. I have registered simonpope.co.uk with dyndns mailhop relay and that forwards to our public ip address on port 25 and then hopefully through the firewall to the sles 10 server. The MX records are mx1.mailhop.org and mx2.mailhop.org.

So, I think the bit I am struggling with is the dns setup on sles 10. Can anyone give me an easy to follow guide on setting up sles 10 dns to work with ZCS 5.0.

Also once dns is configured can I amend the zcs config to make mta work or do I need to run through the install again.

There are various dns setup options on the yast2 gui so not sure if it is best to use those or edit the files directly.

I'm not very experienced with linux so please treat me gently.

Thanks in advance.
