Do not post in Capitals, it's considered shouting and not acceptable on these forums.

There are several threads (well, a lot really) in these forums that discuss the split DNS set-up and required information to check it's working OK - please search the forums and post the output from the commands.

Have you disabled your firewall and SElinux on the Zimbra server? Have you actually looked in the log files to see what the error (if any) is that you're getting? Do you actually have external DNS records for your domain?

[suryakiran13]

Sorry i wasn't aware about your terms....you can see now i have already converted those capitals into small......
now here comes my particulars.......

I've already searched most of threads related to my query in your forum but still I'm not satisfied with my problem I've successfully configured split DNS.

my IP is: 192.168.7.114
hostname is : tapal.bhavuni.edu

I've already disabled the firewall and SELinux at the time of CentOS install.
I've seen my zimbra.log file but not able to find any errors...I'm sending you my zimbra.log file with this.....and the output of other commands also......


Detail: we are installing zimbra open source edition on single machine in our department LAN i want to tast here in department's LAN and then after we are planning to install it onto our Universities mail server. So now it is working fine on our physics department's LAN, working everything fine chat, emails but internally only...whenever i try to send email from my zimbra account to my gmail account it is not sending. error shows..unable to send me and it is returned.
whenever i send email from my gmail account to my zimbra account it is also not sending.
So want some help from master's of zimbra like you.....

They're not our terms and the use of 'all capitals' is not recommended on any forum or mailing list.

Thank you for changing it.

You're quite right, it does seem to be OK.

Is there any firewall in your organisation that might be blocking port 25 from sending the mail? Do you have any external DNS records for this mail server (if you do, do they work and what is the domain name)? If I do a dig for your domain name I get two mail server MX records that aren't (or don't appear to be) a Zimbra mail server - that would be why you aren't receiving any inbound email.

What errors do you see in the log when you try to send an email? Is there any email in the deferred queue (you can look in the Admin UI)? Does your DNS server (on the Zimbra server) resolve external addresses i.e. is it a resolver or forward requests to another DNS server?

Thanx for replysing

My mail server computer is not directly connected with internet, In our University we have computer center and from there we have internet line in our department so we are using proxy server to connect to the internet. i think that is the problem why i'm not able to send emals to to internet from zimbra mail server. our zimbra mail server does not have any direct internet connection.

Thanx

Yes, that would severely hamper your attempts to send & receive email from the internet.
