Then either your DNS server isn't working or you have a problem with your hosts file. Go to the Split DNS article in the wiki and run all the commands in the 'Verify ....' section of that article to confirm your DNS etc. settings. What errors do you see in the log files? How long have you had this problem? Is this a new install or an upgrade or what?

This is my official mail server so urgent help is needed.

What solutions have you tried from the forum threads that cover this problem?

Hello Phoenix

My problem is that my mail server in configured to not be dns server.
I have two Windows 2003 server DNS servers (master and slave)
The split DNS example is not working at me.

The split DNS example is not working at me.

I didn't ask you that, I asked you to confirm (using the Split DNS article) that your DNS (and other requirements) are working correctly - those commands can be used whether you have a Split DNS or not. I also asked you several other questions, any chance of an answer to those?

I wanted to move my server to other network and i've used compression with dar, after that i decompressed my /opt/zimbra to my new server. After that i changed my hostname according with wiki procedure. But I had a virtual host name that was identical with the one that is working. So the two servers were working on the same time and were using same external LDAP.
Errors are a lot in all log files. Please tell me which one you want to see.

Thank for your help!
