can't get access to server (pop, imap? web), but it works with smtp...

[chain]

Hi all. I've got strange situation. A little pre history:
This weekend we had electricity outages. For long time. So UPS switched off the servers. Today on monday I'm late about half hour and other man in office restart both servers, switches and router with button to get the internet in office. And now:
Internet works,
DNS works,
Mail server works (u can check it here intoDNS: mmsystems.ru - check DNS server and mail server health)
It receive mail and can resent it to external hosts.
BUT no one in office can't access mail, by pop, imap, web interface. And I can't access admin interface.
We used zimbra about 2 years and this is first time we get the troubles.
I tried to restart server checked logs but can't understand what's happened.
Logs of server's start in attachment.
Ubuntu 8.04, last 6 version of Zimbra.
Some postfix warnings "not owned by root" as usual and new "zmmailboxdmgr[11993]: no manager process is running"
25 port works:

# netstat -luntp | grep 25
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:10025         0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      19644/master    
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:25              0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      19644/master
# netstat -luntp | grep 110
# netstat -luntp | grep 7071

so 110 and 7071 just clear.
all ok with nslookup, hosts and external DNS..
Tried to reinstall zimbra server also.
Any ideas?

Please update your forum profile with the output of the following command (do not post the output in this thread):

zmcontrol -v

What about your internal DNS server? You have this in the log file you've posted:

;; Got SERVFAIL reply from 192.168.8.1, trying next server
Server:		192.168.8.10
Address:	192.168.8.10#53

** server can't find mail: NXDOMAIN

root@mail:/etc# nslookup mail.pt.network
Server:		192.168.8.10
Address:	192.168.8.10#53

** server can't find mail.pt.network: NXDOMAIN

root@mail:/etc# nslookup 192.168.8.10
Server:		192.168.8.1
Address:	192.168.8.1#53

10.8.168.192.in-addr.arpa	name = mail.pt.network.

Go to the Split DNS article and run all the commands in the 'Verify...' section to confirm your hosts file is correct and the LAN DNS settings.

It's never a good idea doing that, you should resolve the problem first.

Thanx for quick reply. I'll update forum profile tomorrow.
May be my story was not so clear, server worked about 2 years with the same settings, nothing was changed. But I'll sent u all outputs tomorrow.
Thank u.

It was perfectly clear.

That may be true but something is obviously different as you're getting no response to your nslookup commands.

And after server starting I always receive 2 messageson my external mailbox:

mail zimbramon[8656]: 8656:err: Service status change: mmsystems.ru mailbox changed from running to stopped

Unless both of those servers have exactly the same DNS records you should only have the DNS server IP address for the Zimbra server in there.

That hosts file is incorrect, check the Split DNS article for the correct format and required contents of the loopback IP line.

mail server is in thw windows active directory, so I need in that config. For sure I'll try to change it, but it worked about 2 years...
It's more looks like something wrong with mailboxes:

Feb 15 15:26:05 mail zmmailboxdmgr[30434]: stale pid 27076 found in /opt/zimbra/log/zmmailboxd_manager.pid: No such process

any ideas? I can start mailbox service manually, but it stop in about a minute. May be some advices about full logs. For now I can see it's "up" and "down" messages. That's all..

[chain]

So, as I thought the problem was not in DNS and hosts files. The problem - with database. Because I can start server with new installation. So as I did backup, can u tell me about instruments to check the database and repare it?
