[SOLVED] zimbra just installed but....

[anty]

Dear Friends,

I have just installed zimbra on my ubuntu 8.04 box and it seems everything is ok but when i send email the email will never arrive at target and i even cant receive email!!!

where is the problem any bug on ubuntu 8.04? or there is a configuration problem.

I am not going to be much help but the first thing that came to mind was: Do you have your MX records setup correctly?

And just and FYI, people are going to want to know what version you installed.

i have installed from zcs-5.0.18_GA_3011.UBUNTU8.20090708092550.tgz file.
MX records has been setup correctly and i even cant send email to myself!

That would imply that your DNS A & MX record isn't set-up correctly and if you can't send externally then you aither have a) your firewall blocking port 25 b) your ISP blocking port 25 or c) you don't have 'Enable DNS lookups' checked in the Admin UI.

Check the forums for this type of problem, there's lots of threads and some diagnostic information you can provide to show if it is/isn't working. You should also look in the log files and see what errors (if any) you get.

BTW, you would also need a correct /etc/hosts file, also mentioned in the forums and documentation.

The error tells you what the problem is. How about the other information to show your DNS is OK?

It means install the file utility with your package manager. Saying your 'dns is working' isn't the same as posting the details for confirmation.

Post the output of the following commands (run on the zimbra server):

cat /etc/resolv.conf
cat /etc/hosts
dig yourdomain.com any
dig yourdomain.com mx
host `hostname`  <-- use that exact command with backticks not single quotes.
