Mail sent to wrong ip address internally

[SkyHiRider]

I can send mail and partially receive it (my server receives the mail, but instead of sending it to my machine it want's to resend it to an external ip).

Sep  3 16:35:52 ns postfix/lmtp[25560]: connect to ns.testsite.eu[123.456.7.89]:7025: Connection refused

I KNOW it's a DNS problem - ns.testsite.eu points to the wrong ip address and that server naturally refuses the connection. But I've already corrected my dns settings and it's still using the old external ip address.

Will Zimbra pick up the dns change automatically or do I need to reinstall?

Go to the Split DNS and run all the commands in the 'Verify...' section and post the output here.

I've fixed the issue by using Dnsmasq instead of Bind. (gave up on Bind after a few hours of trying, couldn't properly configure it)

Will dnsmasq work if I add another domain to Zimbra? Or will the new domain get the same error as I used to get now?

You need to post the output I asked for earlier.

Here's the output:

root@ns:/home/andrej# host $(hostname)
ns.andreansky.eu has address 192.168.77.87
ns.andreansky.eu mail is handled by 1 mail.andreansky.eu.

As I said, it's working using Dnsmasq but Bind is a no go. But so far it seems I can run multiple mail domains on Zimbra while only using Dnsmasq with one domain configured, so all is well (so far).

You're missing the output from some of the commands that I asked for. Is that output from BIND or DNSMASQ? Whatever it's from, the output is totally wrong.

[SkyHiRider]

Sorry, missed the last two commands. Here they are:

root@ns:/home/andrej# cat /etc/resolv.conf
search andreansky.eu
nameserver 127.0.0.1 
nameserver 192.168.77.1
nameserver 2001:7b8:3:4f:202:b3ff:fe46:bec
nameserver 2001:b18:0:1000:2e0:81ff:fe61:ae 
root@ns:/home/andrej# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1	localhost #ns.andreansky.eu
194.1.130.117	#	ns mail.andreansky.eu mail
192.168.77.87 ns.andreansky.eu www.branyadvere.sk www.dvereabrany.sk www.andreansky.eu
# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts

fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters

This output is with Dnsmasq running, I've disabled Bind.

Your hosts file is incorrect and there are too many entries in the resolv.conf - you need to follow the instruction in the Split DNS article for the contents of this file. You should also give your mail server a unique FQDN (and a separate A record) and not use the one for your nameserver records.
