This is mentioned in the installer itself when it tries to check the data. We'll add a not to the docs as well.

I have setup many a mail server and the thought of tricking postfix via DNS just seems wrong to me. Are you guys planning on writing a Install for guys that like to firewall their gear? I would think that would be MOST enterprise guys out there.... |
From what we've seen so far most enterprises have DNS setup correctly to resolve IP's internally to the internal IP. Seems most of these problems come from folks running on a home DSL/cable line and don't have a DNS server for their local machines. Are you running a larger system that doesn't have it's own DNS?

We don't reccomend using our MySQL db. It should be considered internal to our product. Zimbra will expect full control of the database and we tune the memory, threads, etc with the thinking we are the only app. This will show you the root password.
zmlocalconfig -s | grep mysql

a. Zimbra

c. Jooma CMS
d. Possibly Asterisk PBX & AMP |
Here's the ports we use today(this will change in the next release).
