I set the RAM = 1 GB.
I'm sure the problem is not the virtual machine. I was thinking about some netcard setting, maybe...
And I am thinking about another possibility: the DMZ firewall setting. Tomorrow morning I hope I'll find some time for checking it.

I check what I had I my mind:
On the new installation (the working one), I opened the 839 port (related to the mail server) in the DMZ on the firewall.
I thought it was the difference, but I was wrong.
I repeated the installation on the VM Ubuntu, and it still doesn't work.
Now I'm pretty sure there are no differences between the two ubuntu server configuration.
I would prefere to use a VM installation, but I cant get crazy about it...

Sorry...I mean the 389 port (the ldap one)....

Now I closed the 389 port on DMZ related to the working installation and everything keeps working...

I'm a hard head man, so I wanted to try again the installation on the Ubuntu Server on the ESXi VM.
I really repeated every single step in the same way I did on the working server but in this one, it doesn't work.
The only thought I still have is about the IP address of the VM Host, that is a different class (10.10.10.0) of the Ubuntu server (192,.168.0.0), but i also tried to open the 389 port on the DMZ for the Host, and nothing changed. Still not working.
Now I really ready to give it up....
My idea was to use the VM installation to get a good disaster recovery backup system, using the copy of the virtual machine in case i needed.
I'll have to find a simple way to do that on the real server....
Thank you everybody for helping!
