The error message implies that the user isn't known. What does the following show (when run on your Zimbra server):

Code:
cat /etc/hosts
cat /etc/resolv.conf
dig sub.domain.com mx
dig sub.somain.com any
host `hostname` <-- use that exact command with bactticks not single quotes
Thanks for the reply!

I did add it as a new domain in the Admin UI, and I added the alias (with the subdomain) in my user account.

/etc/hosts

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
w.x.y.z host.mydomain.com host


/etc/resolv.conf

search mydomain.com
server 127.0.0.1

dig sub.domain.com mx

returns an MX with the ZCS host's IP. (Returns the same on local and outside DNS)

dig sub.domain.com any

returns the good MX, and the NS and the A record for the host of the same name.

[root@hostname pz]# host `hostname`
host.mydomain.com has address (same IP as returned from DNS)
sub.mydomain.com mail is handled by 10 host.mydomain.com.



(just to confuse things, the hostname of the ZCS server is also the name of the subdomain - so host.mydomain.com is the same string as sub.mydomain.com)
