That isn't what I asked for. The whole point is to run those commands on the Zimbra server itself so we know exactly what DNS records it can see.

You've run the same query twice, from that information we don't know if you have a valid A record for the server. Please run the correct commands again on the Zimbra server.

root@merlin ~ # host $(hostname)
merlin.desmaele.org has address 176.9.201.48

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
176.9.201.48 merlin.desmaele.org merlin
176.9.201.48 smtp.desmaele.org smtp
176.9.201.48 mail.desmaele.org mail
<snip ipv6 entries>

The /etc/hosts file is incorrect, it should only contain two lines in ther, one for the loopback and one for IP address of the server and it should be in this format:

127.0.0.1	localhost.localdomain	localhost
176.9.201.48	merlin.desmaele.org	merlin smtp mail

You've provided no information in either of your two previous posts.

I removed some info to avoid spam...
I actually can't give some relevant info about how I resolved the issue:

I ended up in taking a backup of all the mails (zmbackup) and reinstalled zimbra, being sure my DNS servers are setup correctly.
After reinstalling, recreating the domain, recreating my I account, everything works fine. I restored my old account with backup_ as prefix...

I still have a copy of the original repository /opt/zimbra. I can paste some log entries if you like...
