Thanks a lot Phoenix.I have changed th e configuration as per the article.The out put of nsllookup is

root@pop:~# nslookup domain.com
Server: 192.168.10.5
Address: 192.168.10.5#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: ksfe.com
Address: 10.10.10.3

Whether this one is right?
The tutorial says it will return the private address.But it returns both ipnumbers.

I have tried again to send mail to outside domains.But it says in zimbra log as follows

Jun 19 07:31:29 pop postfix/smtp[24763]: 6D8AB802318: to=<ask2me007@gmail.com>, relay=none, delay=0.2, delays=0.14/0.05/0.01/0, dsn=4.4.1, status=deferred (connect to 59.93.43.183[59.93.43.183]: Connection refused)
Jun 19 07:31:29 pop postfix/smtp[24766]: 7BB8C802317: to=<ask2me007@gmail.com>, relay=none, delay=0.15, delays=0.09/0.04/0.01/0, dsn=4.4.1, status=deferred (connect to 59.93.43.183[59.93.43.183]: Connection refused)

What is the IP address of your Zimbra server, is it this 192.168.10.5?

Internal IP is 192.168.10.5
My external ip is 59.93.43.183 and we are in NAT.
The ip of my router is 192.168.10.240

Thanks again

OK, it's my fauly I missed this one earlier. In your hosts file you only need the following two lines:

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.10.5 pop.domain.com pop

remove any other lines and try again. When you want to check your settings use the commands I gave you earlier.

Its alright Phoneix
I Restarted the machine.Started bind9 and seen the same error message

Jun 19 13:26:05 pop amavis[6898]: (06898-01) FWD via SMTP: <ask@domain.com> -> <ksfebas@gmail.com>,BODY=7BIT 250 2.6.0 Ok, id=06898-01, from MTA([127.0.0.1]:10025): 250 2.0.0 Ok: queued as B0911802315

As Phoenix has said please post the following output again so we can check since changes have been made

cat /etc/hosts
cat /etc/resolv.conf
dig yourdomain mx
dig yourdomain any
host `hostname` <- note backticks and not single quotes

[phoenix]

Let's check that everything is working correctly. I don't know if Ubuntu installs another MTA but do you have any other mailserver running on your system? Run the following commands on your server:

su - zimbra
zmcontrol status

That should show all the services running, if the MTA isn't running then do this:

telnet localhost 25

If you get a valid response from that then you have another MTA running and it needs to be stopped and disabled. If you need to stop it then restart Zimbra again and see if you can send email. If there's still the same problem then run these commands again and post the output:

cat /etc/hosts
cat /etc/resolv.conf
dig yourdomain mx
dig yourdomain any
host `hostname` <- note backticks and not single quotes

Ubuntu also has Apparmor but I don't know if it's enabled by default, can you check and disable it if it's running and you should also make sure there's no firewall running on that server.

Would you please post your named.conf and the actual zone data file please for your domain. I would guess you have put in your zone file your upstream DNS name server instead of your local one.
