Hi to everyone... I comment briefly that I have a problem...I have zimbra open source installed in my homemade server...I installed it and there are no installation errors ... I can send emails to others emails, the problem appears when I try to send an email from a direction of different email,e ternal.For e xample yahoo.com, @gmail.com, etc…. they do not arrive to my zimbra mail server…

Some data that can help you to solve me my problem:
the email server has my public direction:200.xxx.xxx.x8
there's a virtualhost named mail.midominio.com that is redirected towards this public IP direction
20.xxx.xxx.x8
the MX registry is the following one
midominio.com. 3600 IN M 0 mail.midominio.com

Help me please!!!!!

Instead of a redirect can you make an A record for mail. instead of virtualhost redirection?

I have redirected ¨A¨ mail.midomino.com towards my direction IP 200.XXX.XXX.X8 in my dns provider...

I have verified that your DNS setup is correct as far as your MX record. You are missing a PTR record but that wouldn't affect other systems ability to deliver mail to your server.

Do you have port 25 forwarded properly on your firewall? If so are there any entries in the log files (/var/log/zimbra.log) when an external server tries to connect?

Am I misunderstanding something here? According to the following:

Code:

dig midominio.com any

.....the MX record should have the FQDN of the mail server, the A record points to something other than 20.xxx.xxx.x8 mentioned earlier and when I telnet to the server I find that EXIM is the mail server that answers. Have I got the wrong domain name or the wrong end of the stick?
