I'd suggest you check your DNS records, your external ones point an MX at the domain name (which probably isn't what you want) rather than a server name. If you're behind a router you'll need a Split DNS set-up.

Dear Jholder and Mmorse,
the problem have been solve after some I re install the 4.5.6 again, the MTA working again. And then upgrade to4.5.7 fine.
I am not sure what cause the Ldap failure during the 4.5.6 upgrade when the MTA was not running.
So the correct steps to do this recovery:
first restore all the file into the folder, and run the zimbra upgrade which you currently using. And check if all the service are running correctly first.
And then upgrade to new version.
