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?

nagendra

no i deleted it

scottalanmiller

Okay, does ping mail return the right response?

scottalanmiller

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)

scottalanmiller

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

nagendra

yes its pinging

@scottalanmiller said in Zimbra installation and configuration (internal use only):

nslookup mail.yourdomain.studio

What does this command return from the Zimbra server?

nslookup mail.yourdomain.studio

nagendra

[root@mail Desktop]# nslookup mail.example.com
Server: 127.0.0.1
Address: 127.0.0.1#53

** server can't find mail.example.com: NXDOMAIN

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

nagendra

[zimbra@mail Desktop]$ zmprov ms mtaserver.com zimbraMtaLmtpHostLookup native
ERROR: account.NO_SUCH_SERVER (no such server: mtaserver.com)

nagendra

@nagendra am getting this error

zmprov ms mail.yourdomain.studio zimbraMtaLmtpHostLookup native 
zmprov mcf zimbraMtaLmtpHostLookup native
zmmtactl restart
