sending external emails

[skyline789]

We are using the Zimbra Mail server in our company and currently we are experiencing a critical issue with the Zimbra mail server. None of the company users are able to send emails to external sites if they are outside the company. Basically, emails get stuck in the outbox and cannot be sent. We used the Zimbra outlook connector also but it is not working at all.

I would be grateful if someone could help us on the above issue

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the reply.

It did not. We installed Zimbra connector the latest version first and then cofigured outlook and it is not sendign external emails.

We get a delivery error message.

Where to check the logs?

first you may want to check that everything is running with :
zmcontrol status

the logs are in /opt/zimbra/log

I typed the zmcontrol status in the terminal but it is not recognized.

There are so many files in the log. Is there a prticular file to refer to?

i think you should check the documentation section of this web site, you will find plenty of information in the administration guide

bye for now

Please update your forum profile (do not post it in this thread) with the output of the following command:
