Mx record

[koststok]

Hi all.

I use zcs OS 7.1.1
Everything works fine, but when i try to test mx record in admin console i get error "Domain is configured to use SMTP host: domain.local. none of the MX records match this name." When i look at details i see following: " Found the following MX records: 10 mx1.domain.local."

root@mx1:~# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1	localhost
62.*.*.9	mx1.domain.local	mx1

root@mx1:~# cat /etc/resolv.conf 
search domain.local
nameserver 62.*.*.3
nameserver 192.168.11.2

Where i can configure to use zimbra SMTP host mx1.domain.local ?

Your hosts file & your resolv.conf are incorrect, go to the Split DNS article and read what's necessary for your DNS A & MX records and those files I've mentioned - this subject has also been covered (and answered) many times in the forums if you'd like to do a search.

Thank you for your reply. I see this article, before i write my message. Zimbra server is in dmz and my dns server too. Why i need to use split dns?

I assume you are behind a NAT router then? As I've already said, you need to set-up the Split DNS so the LAN IP address of the server can be resolved - asked and answered many times in the forums.

This server have one ip address, this ip address 62.*.*.9 This address resolve from anywhere. From lan and form internet.

P.s. Forgive my insistence )

This server is in a DMZ or behind a NAT router isn't it? If it is then you need a Split DNS.

Go to the Split DNS article and post the output of all the commands section.

At this time i use lan dns server (active directory 192.168.11.2), firewall is cisco hardware. Between lan and DMZ.

I'd suggest you read the Split DNS article in detail. Your hosts file is incorrect (the loopback entry is wrong and the IP address for your server is wrong) and your DNS records are incorrect (they do not point to the LAN IP of the server - those problems are why you are getting no mail to your server. You need to fix all of those problems for your mail delivery problem and possible future problems.

That's fine but you're having a problem checking the MX record from the Admin UI. The information I've asked you to provide shows that your hosts file is incorrect and your DNS A record is also incorrect. If you're happy to leave it like that then feel free to ignore my suggestions but you will, eventually, have problems with your server - you can do whatever you like, it's your choice. Feel free to search the forums for further information on this problem and what the correct settings should be.
