[SOLVED] Cant send mail-Pls help

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.

zimbra@pop:/root$ zmcontrol status
Host pop.ksfe.com
antispam Running
antivirus Running
ldap Running
mailbox Running
mta Running
snmp Running
spell Running
stats Running



Then I stopped Zimbra and executed the command


zimbra@pop:/root$ telnet localhost 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused

I have already recorded the details in my previous post.
for host and mx records,


Any way thanks a lot for getting support from all of you.:

So where have you specified your domain zone file ? All I can see in that file is two forwarders. This means all your DNS queries are being sent upstream so it will always resolve to your external IP and not the internal one.

I have included the followin in named.conf

zone "domain.com" {
type master;
file "/etc/bind/db.domain.com";
};

Now the


zimbra@pop:/root$ dig domain.com mx

Again when sending mail it says the following error

That would indicate to me that you have a firewall of AppArmor blocking the connection. Check this article and disable AppAromor: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ap...or%20framework and also disable your firewall: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverg.../firewall.html

In addition, this would also indicate that you're still picking up your external IP address rather than your LAN IP address.

[phoenix]

Can you also post the output of the following command:

cat /etc/nsswitch.conf

Dear Phoenix

As you said i checked firewall ,and there is no firewall loaded here.

root@pop:~# sudo ufw status
Firewall not loaded
And the apparmor disabled by using the following commands

sudo /etc/init.d/apparmor stop
sudo update-rc.d -f apparmor remove

Any way the problem i still there
