Another problem sending to yahoo users.

[bneiman]

OK, I am a newbie to Linux and Zimbra. I am running ZCS on an Ubuntu 8.04 server. I can send email to anyone except for yahoo.com users. I have searched the forum, but I am not getting something. I know it has to do with DNS and PTR records. We have a block of static IPs with Qwest, and I contacted them to add a PTR record to reverse DNS to mydomain. I am including a portion of the zimbra.log file and a dig qwery.

Names and actual IP addresses have been changes. 10.0.0.10 is the local ip address of the server. 1.2.3.4 represents our public ip address.

I would greatly appreciate and help.

You actually have a Split DNS set-up, do you? Does your server have a reverse pointer? Did you check the details on the Yahoo error page that's in your log?

Yes, it is a split DNS setup. I followed the directions here:

Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Server (Hardy Heron) Install Guide - Zimbra :: Wiki

I have looked at the Yahoo error page. I do not have a reverse pointer on the local/internal server (10.0.0.10). Is that required?
