      When your server looks itself up, it needs to find itself.

      What is in your /etc/hosts file?

        If you do not know what you are doing, and this is actually important, hire someone.

        I get paid for that level of support.

        Exactly this. Before you built on a mail server, you should have familiarized yourself with things like NS, DNS, MX records, etc.

        Now, continuing, if you still want to route only internal emails, you'll be better off to configure /etc/hosts file and bind9 in itself, check with nslookup after.

          This is what I followed...its dated...and in Ubuntu, just make some adjustments:

              192.168.4.220 mail.yourdomain.studio mail

              Sorry, had to sleep there. That looks right. Are there any other references to mail in the hosts file, like to 127.0.0.1?

                  Okay, does ping mail return the right response?

                    This is the bit that we are trying to troubleshoot.

                    status=bounced (Host or domain name not found. Name service error for name=mail.yourdomain.studio type=A: Host not found)

                      I'm showing no A record for that host. How many times have we asked if the DNS was there?

                      nslookup mail.yourdomain.studio
                      Server:		192.168.88.1
                      Address:	192.168.88.1#53
                      
                      ** server can't find mail.yourdomain.studio: NXDOMAIN

                          What does this command return from the Zimbra server?

                              Right, so we know because the first step that we said was not done, setting up and checking your DNS, that mail isn't ready to be tested yet. This is why we kept asking about the DNS over and over. We're still at the very beginning.

                                Let's turn off DNS lookups and move to local since you don't have public delivery and DNS is posing an insurmountable technical hurdle. Run these commands on the Zimbra server as the zimbra user.

                                zmprov ms mtaserver.com zimbraMtaLmtpHostLookup native
                                zmprov mcf zimbraMtaLmtpHostLookup native
                                zmmtactl restart
