Sender address change

[daveealex]

I have just installed zimbra 7 on ubuntu 10.04 lts 64 bit and is working much better than I could have imagined. The only problem is that the return path(and displayed email address) is showing the actual local address email.advanced.local instead of the email.domain.net. I have searched but I am not sure what to search for exactly.

Example:

Delivered-To: myto@gmail.com

From: "My Name" <myemail@email.advanced.local>
To: MY TO <myto@gmail.com>

Everything else is working well, just the display email and the return path.

Thank you in advance,

I would guess that your hostname and/or the default domain on your server is set to: email.advanced.local - is that likely to be the case?

yes it is, at the time i created(installed about a month ago) the server i did not have the external domain. Now that i have it it would be nice to have it show up in the reply to, if possible. I thought that i could use an alias to fix this after the fact, but i was wrong. To make this clear:

1. set local domain to domain.net
2. do testing add mailboxes/users
3. change mx record of domain.it(this domain is in use) to point to new email server. This is why i was wanting to test with the domain.net because it is not in use.

I hope this is clear, It has already been a long week and its only Tuesday!!

You use zmprov to rename the domain, go to the wiki and search for 'renamedomain' (one word). I usually like to have the server have a hostname that's in the same domain as the primary domain, if you wish to do that then also have a look at the 'ZmSetServerName' command in the wiki. As always, make sure you take a backup of /opt/zimbra (also details in the wiki & forums) before making any changes to your server - just-in-case.

Thanks Bill, It seems to have worked. I will give it some testing this weekend. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.
