Cannot recieve email?

Zimbra uses all the standard ports. It means that the server wasn't able to connect to the host in the time allowed by the timeout. The IPs in the code you posted was a 192.168.1.x address.. Are you behind a NAT? If so, you need to have split DNS so it can resolve correctly both outside your network and inside.

Hi,

I already setup bind. Here is my configuration..

// Default named.conf generated by install of bind-9.2.4-27.0.1.el4
options {
allow-recursion { localhost; };
directory "/var/named";
dump-file "/var/named/data/cache_dump.db";
statistics-file "/var/named/data/named_stats.txt";
forwarders { 192.168.1.211; };
};
include "/etc/rndc.key";
// We are the master server for mail.geekdept.com
zone "mail.dohma.com" {
type master;
file "db.mail.dohma.com";
};


[root@mail named]# more db.mail.dohma.com

Please post a link to the output form a pingability test for your domain, I'd like to see that it's working correctly.

It means that you can't contact the server. What were you trying to do when this happened and were you trying it form a LAN PC or an external connection? DO you have a firewall and/or SELinux on the Zimbra server?

You test the set-up with these commands (as I mentioned earlier):

host `hostname`  <-- type that command as-is and use backticks not single quotes
dig yourdomain.com mx
dig yourdomain.com any
cat /etc/hosts

If they show the correct information (Including an A & MX records pointing to your Zimbra server) then run the two dig commands from another PC and see what the response is.
