We also didn't find any way to change this, other than manually editing the Zimbra config files, which we don't want to do!

Having an internal DNS server with the private, rather than public IP of the Zimbra host is possibly how you are keeping internal transports internal.

Would you mind confirming that your internal DNS server uses private IPs for the Zimbra MTA (Postfix) and mail store (Cyrus) servers?

Thanks,
