zimra on CenTOS domain name

[esra]

hello,

I have some problems about domain name zimbra on CenTOS.Like you.my old domain on exchange is username@localdomain.com,after migrating their domain name became username@localhost.localdomain.com.But ,I just want username@localdomain.com.Why it added localhost.localdomain.com.I looked at /etc/hosts files.In these files,I see that
my ip address localhost.localdomain.com localhost does the zimbra take this instead of domain name?

Thnak you

su - zimbra
zmhostname
cat /etc/hosts
cat /etc/resolv.conf
dig yourdomain mx
dig yourdomain any
host `hostname` <- note backticks and not single quote

Are you running a Split DNS - Zimbra :: Wiki as the MX lookup is resolving to your external IP and not the internal one.

I will look at my bind configuration according to this article.But ,I configured my bind after installed zimbra.So,my adrres became username@newyork.gata.com immediately .Is it related with my bind?

thanks

[uxbod]

Yes as it would have found that name as the MX record. Just add a domain alias for gata.com and rename your account.

Hello ,

my bind configuration is here,can you tell me where I am wrong?
This is my /var/named/newyork.gata.com.zone
$TTL 8600
@ SOA ns1.newyork.gata.com. ns2.newyork.gata.com.(
2004001 ; serial
108000 ; refresh
3600 ; retry
315600 ; expire
86400 ; caching TTL of 1 hour
);

@ IN NS ns1.newyork.gata.com.
@ IN MX 10 gata.com.
www IN A 192.168.2.9
mail IN A 192.168.2.9
ftp IN A 192.168.2.9

This is my /etc/named.conf file
options {
directory "/var/named";
dump-file "/var/named/data/cache_dump.db";
statistics-file "/var/named/data/named_stats.txt";
query-source port 53;
};
include "/etc/rndc.key";
// We are the master server for newyork.gata.com
zone "newyork.gata.com" {
type master;
file "newyork.gata.com.zone";
};

[uxbod]

@ IN MX 10 gata.com.

should be pointed at

@ IN MX 10 newyork.gata.com.

and your server should have a A record

newyork IN A 192.168.2.9

Hello uxbod,

Firstly,Ihad made my mx newyork.gata.com,after that,I changed it to gata.com.Because,all emal address became username@newyork.gata.com,but I don't want this.I want username@gata.com.I want this,so I changed mx from newyork.gata.com to gata.com.

Secondly,should ı add newyork IN A 192.168.2.9 to /var/named/newyork.gata.com.zone file?

Thanks

[uxbod]

If gata.com is your domain name then your zone should be

zone "gata.com" {
type master;
file "gata.com.zone";
};

and the contents of that zone file should look like

$TTL 8600
@ SOA newyork.gata.com. admin.gata.com.(
2004001 ; serial
108000 ; refresh
3600 ; retry
315600 ; expire
86400 ; caching TTL of 1 hour
);

@ IN NS newyork
@ IN MX 10 newyork
www IN A 192.168.2.9
mail IN A 192.168.2.9
ftp IN A 192.168.2.9
newyork IN A 192.168.2.9
