[SOLVED] Webmail accessibility

[SamTzu]

I did my first multinode Zimbra setup and after a few hours of installation all was well. Then I noticed that I can't access the webmail site with any other address except with the one I used when I installed the servers. On single node Zimbra installations we can use any address to gain access to the webmail.

Where can I change the setting that defines what address Zimbra responds to?

Would that be part of your DNS records?

My "bad". Thanx.

I made a new DNS record for "webmail" because the "mail" address pointed to the MTA node instead of the webmail/mailbox node. Now both addresses work. I did not realize that they were separated because in our previous single node installations they were of course on the same server.

If we add more "mailbox" servers to the "cluster" (or what is the correct word here?) where should the mail.domain-name.com address point to? Always to the MTA? Or can it point to "local" mailbox node?
If so can this be used as a "BackUp" MX server in case one mailbox node breaks? Also is it necessary to make then more than one webmail address? Like webmail1 & webmail2 etc. for every mailbox node?

I'm a bit confused here.

I did not see any info about this in the Multi Node Installation PDF.

Ok. All is working fine (except the admin's ability to read users mail - zimbra tries to open the wrong webaddress, mail... instead of webmail...) but I started to wonder. Where is the mail MX usually pointed in DNS? To the webmail/mailbox address or to the MTA?
