Details:

The E-mail address in charge of the dandcserver.net. zone is: hostmaster@dandcserver@net.


There is no need to refresh the page -- to see the DNS traversal, to make sure that all DNS servers are reporting
the same results, you can Click Here.

Note that these results are obtained in real-time, meaning that these are not cached results.
These results are what DNS resolvers all over the world will see right now (unless they have cached information).


I can post my zone file or anything else. I would appricate anyones help

Have a look at this DNS thread - that should tell you what you need to know about setting your files. I'm assuming that you are using a local copy of BIND rather than public DNS host. Post some details of what you're doing if you still have problems.

[dijichi2]

for some reason the zimbra installer either takes fqdn or takes hostname+resolv.conf search suffix default, then does an mx record against that fqdn. however, very few people set an mx record for the mx A record, its far more common to do it against the domain.

try the dns lookup again, where you were trying mail.dandcserver.net, try dandcserver.net.
