Can send and receive emails

[mc809]

Hi all,

I have just successfully install ZCS in RHEL 6 64bit platform, and the ZCS is behind the firewall using NAT, thus I have setup split-DNS for it. But I can't send/receive the mails. I extracted the maillog below for whom can help me to figure out the problem. Than you.

There's an error in your configuration, post the output of all the commands in the 'Verify....' section of the Split DNS article.

Hi,

thanks for your reply, here below are the verify section for you reference:

[root@mx02 etc]# host atomic-info.net

That DNS information is OK but you missed out the information from the hosts file.

The following output shows you what the error is:

Notice at the end of the last line there's a period (full stop) after the domain name, that shows that the /etc/hosts file is incorrect. Look at that file and remove the period from the end of the domain name then reboot the server and mail should be OK after that.

[mc809]

Hi Bill,

Thanks for your help first.

I have tried to remove a period from /etc/hosts and restart the system.

However, it always shows a full stop at the output when I use the command "host atomic-info.net".

[zimbra@mx02 conf]$ host atomic-info.net
atomic-info.net has address 192.168.11.6
atomic-info.net mail is handled by 10 mx02.atomic-info.net.

Secondly, I found the myhostname variable in /opt/zimbra/postfix-2.7.5.2z/conf/main.cf automatically adds a full stop after the domain name, when I reboot the system.

[main.cf]
myhostname = mx02.atomic-info.net.

Please show me how to permanently change it ?

Lastly, I found the antispam and antivirus services cannot start. Please help me to fix it too.

Host mx02.atomic-info.net.
antispam Stopped
zmamavisdctl is not running
antivirus Stopped
zmamavisdctl is not running
ldap Running
logger Running
mailbox Running
mta Running
snmp Running

zmconfigd Running



Thank you very very much

[phoenix]

Post the output of the following commands:

host $(hostname)
host $(zmhostname)
zmhostname
cat /etc/hosts

Take a look in the log files for errors relating to the anti-spam system.

[mc809]

Hi,

Here are the outputs :

[zimbra@mx02 ~]$ host mx02.atomic-info.net
mx02.atomic-info.net has address 192.168.11.6

[zimbra@mx02 ~]$ host atomic-info.net
atomic-info.net has address 192.168.11.6
atomic-info.net mail is handled by 10 mx02.atomic-info.net.

[zimbra@mx02 ~]$ zmhostname
mx02.atomic-info.net.

[zimbra@mx02 ~]$ cat /etc/hosts
192.168.11.6 mx02.atomic-info.net mx02
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4

I checked the spamtrain.log and found it automatically adds a full stop after my domain name, then caused antispam failed to start. But I couldn't find any obvious error in clamd.log

0111219230004 Starting spam/ham extraction from system accounts.

What does the output of the following show:

zmprov gs `zmhostname`  | grep mx02.atomic-info.net
zmlocalconfig | grep mx02.atomic-info.net

Do all the entries show as the correct FQDN or do they have the period following them?

[mc809]

Always has a period following the domain name, see below

[zimbra@mx02 ~]$ zmprov gs `zmhostname` | grep mx02.atomic-info.net

Try this first:

1) delete your current /etc/hosts file

2) edit a new /etc/hosts file with "vim /etc/hosts"

3) copy & paste (or type it as new text) the following into the new file:

192.168.11.6 mx02.atomic-info.net mx02
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain  localhost

Save the file and restart the server, does that work? Does the output from the commands in the last post look the same if you run them now?

BTW, is this a new server or have you upgraded it? Is there any email on this server that you would wish to preserve?
