Incoming, Incoming, Where are thou?

[dataforcecrm]

Hi,

I can not get to domain unless I am on the server box. Outgoing is successful but I can not receive mail.

There are no port conflicts. All services are started, I created 2 users and can sign in on the server. I can not sign in from other machines.

domain is dataforceleads.com
dataforceleads.com is in etc/hosts
dig dataforceleads shows answer as 208.67.252.43 correct box.
MX record is mail.dataforceleads. com is resolved to dataforceleads.com
IP, 208.67.252.43 is pointing to dataforceleads.com and mail.dataforceleads.com

I ve tried http://dataforceleads.com
http://mail.dataforceleads.com:7071
http://mail.dataforceleads.com:7071/zimbra/mail
and others.

Any suggestions please?

If you can't get to the web ui from anything other than the server then you have a) a DNS issue b) possibly incorrect /etc/hosts file c) possibly firewall/SElinux issues d) If you're behind a router then NAT problems. For c & d you possibly need split-DNS.

Try these commands on the server:

host `hostname`   <-- backticks not single quotes
dig dataforceleads.com any
dataforceleads.com MX

post the results.

From the outside (internet), your server is only listening on ports 22 (SSH) and 5801/5901 (VNC).
So if Zimbra is currently running, there's definitely something (firewall) blocking ports from the outside : you should have at least ports 25-SMTP, 80-http, 7071-AdminWebUI, 368-LDAP listening...

This won't work : you're using the admin WebUI port (7071, available through https only) with the user WebUI URL schema.

Search the wiki for 'ports', you should also search the forums for some information on the subject.

I have On Demand Lead Management Solutions — DataForceLEADS web site on the 44 box and I tried to point dataforceleads.com to the 43 which is our mail zim server.

My server info in zim admin says dataforceleads.com I wonder if it should say mail.dataforceleads.com the domain is dataforceleads and the mail server should be mail.dataforceleads.com ' thanks

The /etc/hosts file is incorrect, have a look at the Quick Start Guide for the correct format.

[dataforcecrm]

this is hosts file for dataforceleads

127.0.0.1 localhost

# special IPv6 addresses
::1 localhost ipv6-localhost ipv6-loopback

fe00::0 ipv6-localnet

ff00::0 ipv6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ipv6-allnodes
ff02::2 ipv6-allrouters
ff02::3 ipv6-allhosts
208.67.252.43 dataforceleads.com mail
208.67.252.43 mail.dataforceleads.com mail

Yes, as I said it's incorrect. You should only have one line that defines your server IP with it's FQDN on there. You should also disable ipv6 on this server. When you'be made the change check it with the host command you used earlier.

[dataforcecrm]

Hi, thank you,

I have done cd /etc vi hosts and deleted the mail.dataforceleads.com and disabled the ip6.
the new hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost

208.67.252.43 dataforceleads.com mail

is this better? I still can not get to site from other machine. I would like to get to zimbra by using http://mail.dataforceleads.com I will uninstall and install to get this right. Can you tell me what the linux box host name and domain name need to be? What to point the mail server to. thanks, JR
PS the other gentlemen said my ports are not listening. I have searched ports yet can not see how to get them to listen it is iptables something right?
