Can't receive mail

[reckless2k2]

I'm new to Zimbra and was attached to the quality of the product. I've been using Postfix in the past with Squirrelmail. I've installed the latest version of Zimbra and I have everything setup including the masquerading (@domain.com instead of @mail.domain.com) on sending but I can't seem to receive mail. If I send a test mail from yahoo to @mail.domain.com, no mail comes through but I don't get an error on the yahoo side for a failure. If I send to the masquerade address (@domain.com), I get a failure error on the on the yahoo side immediately. Either way, no mail is received on my server. I'm sure it's something very simple I'm missing.

Any help would be appreciate. Thanks in advance.

Hello, and welcome to the forums!
Could you please post your postfix log located in /var/log/zimbra.log so that we can see what's going on?

Thanks

I already did a little troubleshooting and it looked like it was nothing showing me an answer there. I obviously edited this copy and paste not to reflect my true domain name.

When I use mxtoolbox.com to check to see what's going on, I get a reverse DNS lookup failure. I followed the instructions per

I got Ubuntu and Zimbra working

But I have a feeling that I didn't do something right in BIND that's causing this issue.

I'm getting reverse DNS lookup failures when I test using mxtoolbox.com. I used the setup from the Ubuntu post and I think I messed up BIND somehow. When I run the log file you suggested, I get no errors and everything seems to running as normal.

Hi Reckless,
Thanks for letting me know. We have a new spam moderation system, and sometimes, newer users posts' get moderated. Sorry bout that, but thanks for letting me know

Let's try
dig mx mail.DOMAIN.com

and see what output you get.

When I test on mxtoolbox.com site I get this error:

I'm sure it has something to do with the BIND setup unless port 25 issue.

I remove bind9 from my box and reinstalled Zimbra. I ignored the hostname error on setup and now I can send and receive without an issue using @mail.MYDOMAIN.com.

I setup masquerading per

http://wiki.zimbra.com/index.php?tit...n_Masquerading

so now my sent mail is received as @MYDOMAIN.COM but I can only reply to @mail.MYDOMAIN.COM. If I try to reply to @MYDOMAIN.COM I get an immediate error. Should I be setting up RELAYING/DOMAIN FORWARDING per that page as well for @MYDOMAIN to find it's way to @mail.MYDOMAIN.COM?

My MX records point all back to me.

[jholder]

Do you have the appropriate domains set up in your adminui?

[reckless2k2]

I was one step ahead. I created a domain alias per that wiki and now everything is fine. This is a fantastic product. I was using postfix with Squirrelmail before but Zimbra is amazing.

Thanks for all the help. I'm sure I will be back on here asking about calendar and contact sharing.

Thanks.
