Let's start with the fact that you haven't provided much information about the problem. The follow-up to that is the fact that Fedora 7 isn't a supported platform for ZCS and hasn't been for a long time, so whcih version of Zimbra of ZCS have you installed? Next, this problem has been covered time and time again in these forums (you would have found it by searching for the error message) but I'll state it again, if you are behind a NAT router (or firewall) you will need a Split DNS and correctly configured /etc/hosts file - do you have those? If you have that and you think it's correctly configured then post the output from all the commands in the 'Verify....' section of that article.

I'd also suggest that you don't install a mail server (which I guess is important to you) on a bleeding edge consumer distribution, use something more suited to the function. I'd suggest using CentOS6 (a binary compatible rebuild of RHEL) and also point out that the only versions supported in the future are 64bit versions of ZCS.
