it's been mentioned here before
that ping uses /etc/hosts. try running this:
$ dig a [zimbra hostname] # or
$ host [zimbra hostname]
those must return the local IP address of the machine. if you're planning to connect via localhost (i.e. 127.0.0.1), then zimbra must consider its hostname to be "localhost"
hmm.

hostname is resolveable via dns from every computer on the network but when I do a ping "zimbra hostname" from the fedora server it resolve on 127.0.0.1.

what's in /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/hosts?
