Yes and a DNS entry. Your server can't be found according to this message:
Code:
Aug 25 11:49:23 localhost postfix/lmtp[1326]: C0BB217E5E3: to=, relay=none, delay=0, status=bounced (Host or domain name not found. Name service error for name=localhost.localdomain type=A: Host not found)

But this message is in the /var/log/zimbra.log in the zimbra sever. How can't locate the host if it's the host is looking for.

It can't locate the host because you're using localhost.localdomain as the fqdn and it's pointing to 127.0.0.1 the FQDN needs to be bound to a 'proper' IP address and not the loopback adapter and your DNS records also need to point the the IP address.

Exclamation

Ok, now I have in my /etc/hosts two lines:

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.0.90 mail.domain.com fedora


But like the mail failure says, the server is looking for localhost.localdomain...
Host or domain name not found. Name service error for
name=localhost.localdomain type=A: Host not found
Is It bad? the name should be mail.domain.com instead of localhost.localdomain no? How can I change that name?

This line:
Code:
192.168.0.90 mail.domain.com fedora
is still wrong.

According to that information, your mail server should have a name of 'mail' not 'fedora' and the line should read:
Code:
192.168.0.90 mail.domain.com mail
Is this a new install? I'm guessing that you installed it and gave the domain localhost.localdomain to zimbra when it was installed, is that right?

I see that you have given your server a domain name of localhost.localdomain - that's not right and you need a fqdn that's addressable by DNS to receive your mail.

Yes, you can change it. Have a look at the ZmSetServerName command. There's lots of info on the forums about changing the server name do a search and read before making the change, make sure you have a backup as well before you modify anything.

IMO, the easiest thing to do if this is a new install is remove Zimbra and reinstall it with the correct domain name. If you want to do that just run the install script with './install.sh -u' and kill any remaining processes then do the install again.

Ok! now sending mails works perfectly and I can use the tab mail queues of Zimbra Admin (Before this new installation I couldn't).
Now "only" fails receiving mails, the error is:
connect to mail.domain.com[64.000.000.111]: connection refused

My DNS zone is this:

domain.com. 14400 IN A 64.000.000.000
mail 14400 IN A 64.000.000.111 (ip of zimbra server "mail.domain.com")
mail 14400 IN MX 10 mail.domain.com


It's wrong? I don't know much things about DNS (MX , A ...)

Ah!emails accounts have this format: user@mail.domain.com
