Thanks jholder. I did dig mail.doamin2.com and it returned information for my DNS servers and the external ip address. I'll be honest I don't know a whole hell of a lot about DNS either. But here goes.
mail.domain1.com is our current large production email server, it is on an imail server hosted for us. The CEO wants it in house. I built the Ubuntu box using zimbra and correctly or not decided that the hostname should be mail.domain1.com
When I install zimbra - "I get a DNS Error resolving MX for mail.domain1.com, It is suggested that the domain name have an MX record configured in DNS" - duh I shouldn't have missed that.
I can't change the DNS servers for mail.domain1.com until I have built and configured the email server.
If I am using an new external DNS provider for the new server, do I require BIND on the mail server as well?
Sorry guys but I am confused as hell. |
