Zimbra is not working, cant send and receive mails

[Eddy67]

Hi,

I just installed Zimbra in ubuntu and is not working, I cant send emails inside nor outside.

I have been reading forums and papers about DNS and Split DNS, done a lot of changes and
can't get zimbra to work.

From outside this is what I get

The Postfix program

Then if you've read about Split DNS you'll have also read that you need to provide the output of all the commands in the 'Verify....' section of the wiki article.

This is what I have in the /etc/bind/named file


include "/etc/bind/named.conf.options";
include "/etc/bind/named.conf.local";
include "/etc/bind/named.conf.default-zones";

zone "compania.org" {
type master;
file "/etc/bind/db.local";
};

zone "100.139.172" {
type master;
file "/etc/bind/db.127";
};

That isn't what I asked for, go to the Split DNS wiki article and post the output from all the commands in the 'Verify....' section.

The simple answer to your problem is you have no A or MX DNS records and your hosts file is totally incorrect. Go to the Split DNS article and read what's necessary for your DNS records and hosts file, when you've done that then you can check your settings again with the commands you've already used..

[Eddy67]

This is my definition of the A and MX records.

I know that something have to be wrong in one of the files, but I've checked several times and see nothing wrong. I've been dealing with this matter for a full week and nothing, that's why I'm posting in the forum.
