[SOLVED] i can send but i can't receive

[machinakias]

hi everyone!
just installed zimbra suite...everything's fine,except one thing...........

i can send mail but i can not receive!
i can't figure it out...what's wrong?

I want to use dyndns because i have no static ip and no MX records...
i registered already an account in dyndns...but,what's next?

is there something wrong with my settings and i cant receive mail?

is there any "how-to" to help me finish my server?

ps. i use ubuntu server 8.04 and zimbra 5.0.16 if you need these info....

thanks for your attention!

The fact you have no MX records would be the reason you don't receive any mail, if you're behind a NAT router then you'll also need a Split DNS and a valid /etc/hosts file.

Once you have setup your MX and A record for your ZCS server please post the following so we can check it

cat /etc/hosts
cat /etc/resolv.conf
dig yourdomain mx
dig yourdomain any
host `hostname` <- note backticks and not single quotes

Obviously change yourdomain for your actual one

well, i just had to set a forward rule to port 25 to my internal ip....
was so simple! now it works like charm!

thanks my friends!!!
