Default [SOLVED] Moved server - now cannot send mail
I followed the instructions at Moving ZCS to Another Server » Zimbra :: Blog
and moved our zimbra 5.09 from an ubuntu 6.06 server to a new ubuntu 8.04 box.

Everything seems to be fine - I can login to the web client, receive emails, add calendar entries etc. However the big problem is that I now cannot send emails to external domains (internal works fine).

From looking through the forums it seems likely that this is a dns problem however I have tried a few things and made no difference. I would be very grateful for some assistance on this.

What does /var/log/zimbra.log show when you try and send a email ? Have you checked, as the zimbra user, you can perform DNS lookups for a remote domain. If you can perform DNS lookups try telneting to a remote MTA on port 25 to ensure outbound traffic is not being blocked.

/var/log/zimbra.log says:

Code:
Jan 14 05:54:37 IS-10197 postfix/smtpd[17627]: connect from IS-10197.unassigned--
domain[78.129.167.175]

ed-domain[78.129.167.175]
zimbra user can use dig command to resolve external domains
I can telnet to port 25 on a remote server

thanks

First of all looks like you do not have rDNS entry for your Zimbra server
Code:
IS-10197.unassigned--domain[78.129.167.175]
Is it sending to the correct server as it would appear steve@externaldomain.com does not reside on the remote server due to the relay error message.

how do i go about fixing the rDNS problem?
my domains are hvlmail.com and cmhmail.com and both of those point at this machine's ip 78.129.167.175

I am unsure from that log entry which server the email is being sent to... I have tried to send to multiple email addresses with different domains and they all fail.

That's not quite correct from my (DNS) point of view, the following is returned:

Agreed Phoenix and no rDNS is available
Code:
dig -x 78.129.167.175

To resolve the rDNS issue you would need to talk to your ISP and get them to set it up for you.

however the dig -x 78.129.167.175 gives the same result as uxbod posted. I will contact my isp about this. we use 2 domains so presumably both should be set up to return on an rDNS lookup?

No The rDNS entry for your ZCS server should point to the FQDN. I see from your dig
Code:
hvlmail.com.		86400	IN	MX	10 hvlmail.com.
that you point it just at the domain name. You should really have it pointing to mail.hvlmail.com and any others domains using your ZCS server should point to the same one.

Please post the following so we can check your setup
Code:
cat /etc/hosts
cat /etc/resolv.conf
dig yourdomain mx
dig yourdomain any
host `hostname` <- note backticks and not single quotes
su - zimbra
zmhostname
