Hello -
I've been trying to tackle this problem for a couple of hours now - and no luck so far. The basic setup is the following --
old server (running SLOX) - setup to accept mail for infocentricity.com and all accounts provisioned there, enabling forwarding from my account to test receipt on the zimbra system.
new server (running Zimbra 4.5.9) - hostname mail.infocentricity.com and main domain setup as infocentricity.com (with virtual host set to mail.infocentricity.com in domain setup tab). all accounts provisioned on zimbra server too - and forwarding to the old server (except my account).
Current state/symtoms -
- I can send mail to
user1@infocentricity.com (from web client), with a forward on the zimbra server and it gets delivered to the old server
- I can send mail to myself
user@infocentricity.com (from web client) and it gets delivered to my account on the zimbra server
- I try to send mail to myself
user@mail.infocentricity.com (from web client) and it gets bounced to my account on the zimbra server (mail) - see Example 1
- I try to send mail to my normal acct
user@infocentricity.com (from remote client/smtp server) and mail gets delivered into old server mailbox and forwarded on to zimbra where it gets bounced back to remote server.
I've reviewed the split domains wiki page - and I can't find anything there that helps me out.
Example 1 (sent from webmail to self)

Other posts have asked for the following - which all appear correct to me...but here they are for information sake. This is all DNS behind our firewall - so you won't be able to do dig lookups on the outside. However in my past experience it should work internally with mail be delivered to the internal/primary/old server - as it has the appropriate view of the DNS entries. The main problem I haven't been able to resolve is that the server should be accepting email for itself - mail.infocentricity.com - and it won't.

If anyone has any ideas I would greatly appreciate it. This is holding up my deployment until I can get mail flowing the correct way.
