[SOLVED] non public dns

[ferra]

I'm using zimbra in a local server, non public : local.dyndns.org
It's configured to get mail from the public server and deliver internally.
I configured Externel Accounts and Canonical address.
Everything is wotking perfect, except AS/AV are not filtering the emails.
I try to use fecthmail, the probem is that fecthmail cannot deliver email to a non public server, allways have this message:
Host or domain name not found. Name service error
for name=local.dyndns.pt type=A: Host not found
My fetchmail configuration file is:
poll mail.domain.com
protp pop3
user "user1"
pass "pass1"
is userx@local.dyndns.org
nokeep
fetchall

The goal is to filter emails with AV/AS.
Can you tell me if there is a solution for that?

Though there is no reason why you cannot do what you want using fetchmail; you just need to ensure you have a valid MX and A record for your domain by using a Wiki :: Split DNS architecture.

I am using a split DNS and everything works fine except for fetchmail. I can use outlook and thunderbird internally and access webmail from outside. I don't know why but seems that fecthmail does not look for the local DNS.
Maybe it go trough default gateway, and since local.dyndns.org is not an MX public name it does not find it.

One more thing. If I send an email from the command line in the Zimbra zerver, like this
#mail userx@local.dyndns.org

I can receive the email.
It seems that fecthmail works in a different way.

[uxbod]

fetchmail just pushes the email into your local SMTP server. You say local.dyndns.org yet in the error message it says

local.dyndns.pt type=A: Host not found

so is that another domain you handle ? If so then that should have a MX and associated A record aswell.

[ferra]

Sorry, I type it incorrectly. The correct is local.dyndns.org type=A: Host not found

From a PC I can browse http://local.dyndns.org

cat /etc/hosts

dig yourdomain any

host `hostname`
local.dyndns.org has address 192.168.5.200
local.dyndns.org mail is handled by 10 local.dyndns.org.

Why is the FQDN of your server eg. local.dyndns.org the domain aswell ? Your hosts file is incorrect aswell as it should be

192.168.5.200 local.dyndns.org
::1 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost

as you have put in a short name of local which according to your dig forms part of the domain name local.dyndns.org

[ferra]

I have changed hosts:

cat /etc/hosts
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
192.168.5.200 local.dyndns.org
::1 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost

but still the same problem.

Should I need to configure FQDN of server different from the domain?
