Split-Domain Wiki Problem

[stillSpirit]

Hi Guys,

Have been following the Split Domain Wiki. I would like to set up my new zimbra domain with the ability to send to the internal domain of our existing mail server. This should easy the transition to the new server for user considerably. Zimbra will be the secondary mail server as per the wiki.

Unfortunately, when I do a

zmprov md {primary domain} zimbraMailCatchAllAddress @{primary domain}

I get a

ERROR: account.NO_SUCH_DOMAIN (no such domain: {primary domain})

I am using the internal domain name of the primary mail server. It is in our DNS, but I have zimbra set to not do DNS lookups. Do I need to add our primary domain to Zimbra's hosts file?

any ideas

cheers

The command:

zmprov md {primary domain} zimbraMailCatchAllAddress @{primary domain}

will modify domain {primary domain}.

Your error says it does not exist.

Did you check if it shows up on the list, by typing:

zmprov gad

If it does not come up, create it before modifying it:

zmprov cd domain.com

You said:

No, as far as I understand. But it takes a few seconds to try it out. I think if the domain is created as desired then your problems are solved.

hi czaveri
thx for the reply.
yes, creating the primary domain in zimbra did allow the commands to run, unfortunately, it is still not transporting mail from zimbra users to the primary domain.

I get a bounce straight away as follows,

504 <reception@{primary domain}>: Recipient address rejected: need fully-qualified address

I know the internal address of the primary domain is not fully qualified, how do we get around this?

cheers

Did you try checking if the account to which you are sending mail exists?

zmprov gaa | grep user@domain.com

where user@domain.com is the user to whom email is being sent.

If he does not exist. Create the user:

zmprov ca user@domain.com s0m3p455w0rd

Try sending an email to him now. It should reach him.
