choose incoming or outgoing

[naturalblue]

if i set dns lookups on my mail server i can get outgoing mail but not incoming.
if i disable dns i get incoming but not outgoing.

my dns server is on firewall.
my hosts file contains an entry from my server.
anyone know the workaround/resolution for this.

also my server is the same name as my mx record

Are you running any NATting? ie does your server have a public IP or private?

Also, would you mind posting the following so we can take a look?

>cat /etc/hosts

>nslookup localhost

>nslookup [fqdn of the server]

>cat /var/log/zimbra.log

and your machine's IP address


The key is your zimbra log. It will give us a better idea as to what's happening.

thx
