I’ll spare the non-technical types, and just beg for help from people better than me with Linux.
So, I’m working on setting up this Zimbra email server. It is some sweet stuff, but you can read about that in my other posts.
here is the setup. I have this server sitting behind my router. I have all the ports forwarded that the server will use (according to zimbra’s documentation).
I have the hostname set to ‘zimbra’ for server, and I have the domain set up as bigcat.kicks-ass.org
This a dynamic dns (www.dyndns.com) address, and I’m using a windows updater on my desktop, to make sure it is set correctly.
in my hosts file (/etc/hosts) I have two entries
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.2.18 zimbra.bigcat.kicks-ass.org zimbra
Do I need to do anything else. I’ve no idea if BIND is set up on this thing, if it is I didn’t do it, and I haven’t changed any mx records, nor do I have any idea how to change mx records.
My guess with this problem is that while bigcat.kicks-ass.org is resolving to the correct ip, and forwarded to an internal port on the server, once it gets inside of my router it is bouncing around looking for a domain called ‘zimbra.bigcat.kicks-ass.org’. In the administrators console for my server it is showing the domain as ‘zimbra.bigcat.kicks-ass.org’. So I think I need to set up an mx record that says something like;
bigcat.kicks-ass.org 10 zimbra.bigcat.kicks-ass.org
Is that sound correct?
Help would be appreciated.
Oh yes, and GO BEARS!!!!! According to Seth, Rex Grossman is the touchdown Jesus. I had to agree with him. I think the bears have found their new starting quarterback who will get us some decent points.
