Zimbra picks up wrong internal domain name but still uses external domain and works?
Hello everyone, I've just been messing around with installing Zimbra 7 on a Ubuntu machine and I came across something I have not seen before.
These are my system files before I installed zimbra -
hostname -
Code:
root@zimbra7:~# cat /etc/hostname
zimbra7
hosts -
Code:
root@zimbra7:~# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost zimbra7
192.168.200.254 mail.wuboz.com mail zimbra7
Resolv.conf
Code:
root@zimbra7:~# cat /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 127.0.0.1
dnsmasq.conf -
Code:
server=8.8.8.8
server=4.2.2.2
domain=wuboz.com
mx-host=wuboz.com,mail.wuboz.com,5
listen-address=127.0.0.1
Zimbra when installing detected the domain wuboz.com just fine, however when it was going through the install it latched on to the localhost.localdomain as something that I don't know how to refer to.
All of my email address have the wuboz.com domain on them and I can send and receive emails fine through the internet. However in the Admin GUI and in the source emails it shows the localhost.localdomain -
Here is the splash screen of the Zimbra admin console, it will show the localhost.localdomain

However right here it shows the wuboz.com domain

But under server statistics it shows the localhost.localdomain

I have never seen it pick up the localhost domain, during the install I specifically stated wuboz.com and it took it just fine.
Here is the dig of wuboz.com -
Code:
dig wuboz.com any
; <<>> DiG 9.7.0-P1 <<>> wuboz.com any

If I do hostname -f I get localhost.localdomain
In this scenario all of the SSL certificates are setup for localhostl.localdomain instead of wuboz.com.
Can someone explain what happened?
Is it because the zimbra7 hostname was behind 127.0.0.1?
