Default [SOLVED] Hosts Issue ?
Hello its my first post, so i'm sorry if I do anything wrong.

I'm having the exact same problem here...

During the installation i receive the msg:

--
DNS ERROR resolving debian.IMAGINE.corp
It is suggested that the hostname be resolveable via DNS
Re-Enter hostname [Yes]
--

I'm on an educational institution which Internet domain(for the emails) is EXAMPLE.edu.br(like, the website should be www.example.edu.br) and my Active Directory is using IMAGINE.corp as the local network domain.

Since this webmail will have external access(Internet), I'd like to know what to do.

In my /etc/hosts file, it has:

XXX.YYY.QQQ.EEE debian.EXAMPLE.corp debian
127.0.0.1 localhost

So, in AD I tried and created an MX record in the DNS zones called debian.example.corp, returned to the installation and tried again... Didn't work...

It keeps asking me to "Re-Enter hostname"...


Please help...

Welcome to the forums

First of all your /etc/hosts file is incorrect as it should look like
Code:
127.0.0.1           localhost.localdomain localhost
your.ip.address         FQDN yourhostname
And please post the following so we can check everything
Code:
cat /etc/hosts
cat /etc/resolv.conf
dig example.corp mx
dig example.corp any
host `hostname` <- note backticks and not single quotes

Whichever domain you wish to receive the email for then please post all the information I requested. I am a bit confused as to what you are trying to do

As your server FQDN contains imagine.corp that needs to be a MX record that is resolvable to your Zimbra server.
