Btw, it is a virtual root server (OPENVZ) with Ubuntu 8.04, reverse DNS has been set, the mx and A records in DNS as well.
Thanks for *any* help.

Yes, I moved those posts to another thread as they were no longer about this topic.
Your hosts file is incorrect, it should read like this: Code: #::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
#fe00::0 ip6-localnet
#ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
#ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
#ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
#ff02::3 ip6-allhosts
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
# Auto-generated hostname. Please do not remove this comment.
99.99.99.99 zimbra.mydomain.com zimbra Your dig output shows no A record for your server. Make the change to the hosts file and then run the following commands (on the zimbra server): Code: cat /etc/hosts
cat /etc/resolv.conf
dig yourdomain.com any
dig yourdomain.com mx
host `hostname` <-- use that exact command with backticks not single quotes

If this is behind a NAT router (or firewall) you should only have one DNS server in your resolv.conf (the DNS server that has your Zimbra records) and you should also have the following: Code: search yourdomain.com If it's not behind a NAT router is it on a public IP? Please also run the 'host' command I asked you for earlier. Otherwise everything looks OK. What problems do you have? Have you looked in the log files for any errors?

It is a virtual root server @ my providerds data center. I knew i was something missing..
host `hostname`: Code: not found: 3 (NXDOMAIN) I didn't install at all, as long as:
hostname -a Code: hostname: Unknown host and
hostname -f Code: hostname: Unknown host
won't work, i do not see any good in installing anyway. The installscript also complains about this: Code: hostname: Unknown host
So what?
Thanks for your help. I am trying to get this work for quite a long time...

BIF, here my host.conf: Code: # The "order" line is only used by old versions of the C library.
order hosts,bind
multi on my /etc/bind/named.conf: Code: // This is the primary configuration file for the BIND DNS server named.
//
// Please read /usr/share/doc/bind9/README.Debian.gz for information on the
// structure of BIND configuration files in Debian, *BEFORE* you customize
// this configuration file.
//
// If you are just adding zones, please do that in /etc/bind/named.conf.local
include "/etc/bind/named.conf.options";
// prime the server with knowledge of the root servers
zone "." {
type hint;
file "/etc/bind/db.root";
};
// be authoritative for the localhost forward and reverse zones, and for
// broadcast zones as per RFC 1912
zone "localhost" {
type master;
file "/etc/bind/db.local";
};
zone "127.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
file "/etc/bind/db.127";
};
zone "0.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
file "/etc/bind/db.0";
};
zone "255.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
file "/etc/bind/db.255";
};
include "/etc/bind/named.conf.local";
server 145.253.2.75 {
}; Anything else i am missing?
Best and thanks
