Everything are ready, can use webmail, pop and smtp. But the live server can't, i don't know what problem is.
The main different of two server is testing server connect internet directly, and the live server is behind the firewall that only can send mail but can't receive in web mail.

Have any idea?

more information:
i just remove the firewall(cisio) on the live server, and install the zimbra mail again, it seem all right. After that i try add a firewall and restart the zimbra service,

Host mydomain.com
Starting ldap...Done.
FAILED
ERROR - failed to start slapd


moreover, i opened the port, 25, 80,110,143,389,443,993,995,7025 for this server.

i think most is the IP problem, using public ip can, using 192 just failed.

#cat /etc/hosts
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost

#hostname
mydomain.com

# cat /etc/sysconfig/network
NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=mydomain.com

Your hosts file is incorrect, it should have an entry for your lan IP like this:

192.168.x.x mail.domain.com mail

- have a look at the Quick Start Guide for details. When you've done that what does:

 host `hostname`

return?

Do you also have DNS A & MX records set correctly for these servers?

Sorry, I should have clarified the /etc/hosts file. You need a FQDN (fully Qualified Domain Name) in your hosts file where 'mail' is the name of the server and 'domain.com' is the domain name you're using. See the Zimbra Quick Start Guide for details.

So, if my domain name is 'mydomain.com', and also is the server host name, then

/etc/host file should be add a line

192.168.x.x mydomain.com mydomain.com

right?

Wrong, that's not a FQDN.

You need a fully qualified domain name for the server, it needs it's own name as I've dsecribed - '192.168.x.x name.domain.com name' and that's it.
