 Likely DNS issue
Dont know how unique my situation is but I was asking the question primarly becuase when i did the upgrade from the M4 release i was prompted about an MX record, and an entry for ZimbraHost.domain.name could not be found. I am currently running a caching name server and the actual authoritative name server is being hosted by a third party. As convoluted as that sounds i had to do it this way in order to get around port 25 being blocked. This third party allows smtp traffic to be forwarded to non-standard ports.
I have added a domain with just my domain.name and i receive all of my mail. I just have another domain in the admin console for zimbraHost.domain.name. Just was not sure if that was the problem it does not seem to be a problem with my current configuration and the last thing i want to do is break something that is currently working!!
Based on the look of things there is a good chance that my zone files are some how missconfigured. I'm just worried about changing them and breaking an albiet flawed installation, but it is working.
I was just curious.  |
