The sending mail server is attempting to connect to the zimbra server, but is being rejected.

I tried adding a domain "domain.com" in Zimbra and adding the accounts to that, and that actually seems to work. I can send mail to that domain, then. However, then other things such as documents end up with URLs that don't work, since domain.com is hosted somewhere else.

Thanks for your help.
We might be talking past each other, but I am not sure you understand how mx works. The MX for the domain should be set to route all mail to zimbra.domain.com (unless you want @domain.com traffic to go elsewhere). Then in Zimbra, you should create a domain domain.com, with users on it. The MX record routes the mail so that @domain.com traffic works, but everything else uses the existing plesk based server.

Does that make sense?

When you do the zimbra install, you should set the servername to be zimbra.domain.com. Create the domain.com domain later in Zimbra. That way they are completly independent, and you don't have url screw ups.

Again, my apologies if I just don't get it.
