    Default Inbound E-Mail not received from certain addresses

    Hi there. I have the weirdest problem. I've just installed Zimbra for the first time for my organization. I do have to say I'm quite impressed. Anyway, I was able to send and receive to a good dozen or so other addresses except for my other personal e-mail from another provider. I'm able to send to that address, but when I reply back I get the following error...
    The mail server could not deliver mail to admin@xyz.ca. The account or
    domain may not exist, they may be blacklisted, or missing the proper dns
    entries.
    I have the domain registered with godaddy and I set the MX records to the following...

    MX (Mail Exchange)
    Priority Host Goes To TTL Actions
    0 @ XX.XXX.XXX.XXX 1 Hour
    When I do a check on the MX record inside of the Zimbra admin panel I get the following...

    Domain is configured to use SMTP host: xyz.ca. None of the MX records match this name. Found the following MX records:
    0 XX.XXX.XXX.XXX.
    I did verify that xyz.ca resolves to the IP address, and since the other mail providers seem to find it I'm at a loss. Any ideas on what I can try?

    It looks like you need to have your reverse DNS entry set correctly. Many mail servers will block delivery to/from servers that have a mismatch.

    For example, using Zimbra's own servers here:
    Ping mail.zimbra.com gives mta02.zimbra.com at 207.126.229.144

    the important part is what happens going the other way: ping -a 207.126.229.144 shows the dns entry of mta02.zimbra.com

    Another issue that you might be running into is it looks like you might have an IP address listed for your MX record. MX records should list a FQDN not an IP address.
