Post-Installation woes

[3RiversTechAdmin]

-Messages between zimbra users are sent but never appear
(imap message import did work however)
-Zimbra says antivirus and spam are ofline
(prob due to the fact that this machines domain does not resolve in dns to this machine, it can't of course becuase there is a production server )
-I can manually smtp a message to a user, with no aparent errors, but it is never delivered
-Veiwing mail queues does not work (see stack trace below)

Hi-
Let's see if I can help out a little.
If your machine isn't resolveable via DNS, you're going to have a lot of problems, as most of the services bind via dns and your hosts file.

When you manually send a message, what do your logs indicate? (var/log/zimbra.log & /opt/zimbra/log/zimbra.log)

Also, it looks like either you've turned off SSH on that machine, or changed the port? Is this right?

Thanks for your prompt response , here is where I am at:

If your machine isn't resolveable via DNS, you're going to have a lot of problems, as most of the services bind via dns and your hosts file.

I have made changes to the host file so the real mail server's hostname should now resolve to local host and I have "zmprov mcf zimbraMtaDnsLookupsEnabled FALSE"

When you manually send a message, what do your logs indicate? (var/log/zimbra.log & /opt/zimbra/log/zimbra.log)

/var/log/zimbra.log states:

Yikes, I just realized the new distribution I am using does not install the server portion of open ssh by default. I guess I assumed it was working becuase I could run "zmupdateauthkeys" etc. I can indeed view the mail queue now, it shows all messages and defered due to local host refusing them. This seems to consolidate what the log is saying. What would you recommend I do? Thanks

it turns out that besides the changes made in my last post, adding the FQDN to the AV, spam and postfix config files (rather than just the host name), fixed the rest of the issues. Now I just have to figure out why zimbra rejects messages sent to it from the old (send)mail server (using .forward files) for the users who will be evaluating zimbra.
