The /et/hosts file has the correct entries in it. I can ping and telnet to the mail server from itself using the external IP so I assume that Postfix is not having an issue with my Firewall.
I have set up a split DNS per the wiki instructions. I still cannot resolve any address going to sbcglobal.net. When I ping the domain, it resolves to sbcglobal.net.mydomain.com. (66.166.18.139). This is my external IP address. When I do a nslookup and set the type=mx, I find the mail servers just fine. The error in the deferred que is "connection refused" and it shows my external IP address as the resovled address for sbcglobal.net. Any ideas? Why is only one domain not being forwarded and resolved locally? sbcglobal.net.mydomain.com..? (the extra period is not a typo). Where does Zimbra hold cached DNS entries? I assume that the cache is corrupted since it is not even trying to use the external DNS only on this entry.
Why does all my mail in the mail queues seem to come from localhost.localdomain when I have the appropriate entry in the /etc/hosts file? Is this normal?
Will the split DNS take care of this issue?
Let me know your thoughts..
Thanks!!
