[SOLVED] Use Zimbra with external pop3

[walkon]

Hi.
Scenario:
I have a domain yyy.zz hosted by ISP. This hosting give me all service included mail with domain mail.yyy.zz
I have installed Zimbra in local network and i wish to use my zimbra server for internal ed external mail. After reading millions of posts I'm stopped . Can you help me give a schema of configuration?
I have ricreated my domain name on local using splitdns but if I do nslookup on domain yyy.zz nothing....

You will find details in the wiki article for Split DNS that covers what you need to do. To confirm your configuration post the output of the following commands (run on the zimbra server):

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

BTW, which operating system are you using.

The first thing is your hosts file is incorrect, it should look like this:

127.0.0.1	localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.0.77 	servposta.xxxx.yy	servposta

The DNS A record should point to your LAN IP address not your external IP address, fix those problems and see what happens.

In resolv.conf file?

You do only need the one IP in your resolv and that should be your internal DNS server. I was, however, talking about the fact your dig commands did not return the correct information, they would appear to point to your public IP rather than your LAN IP.

I have changed my hosts file and resolv.conf file as :

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.0.77 servposta.xxxxxx.yy servposta

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts

-----------
search xxxxxx.yy
nameserver 192.168.0.77

and the result is

Hi. Finally I have created my domain in local. The problem was the path of db.kkk.xxxxx.yy. I work in folder /etc/bind and the path was /var/cache/bind . Moving the db...... in folder /var/cache/bind it's ok.
Now I have a question. The domain in ldap il kkkk.xxxxxx.yy and it is the name of host. When the zimbra installation generate the user it's admin@kkk.xxxxx.yy. Should not be admin@xxxxx.yy?
Thank for reply.

[walkon]

Thank's to all.
