(a good practice, anyway.)
will bug u again please next week once i show this to my management...
You are lucky that I had to build a new one of these just a few weeks ago that is used in production that I can look at live to help. It has been a while since I had these in production. I like Zimbra a lot, though. It's a good product and works well. And free is hard to beat.

@scottalanmiller yes ports are already opened . can i send outside also now ???
-
In addition to the web interface, there is a Zimbra Desktop Client that you can use. I do not use it as it uses Java and that's just silly. But it is an option.

It's an email server, its main function is to send email. So unless you have port 25 blocked for outbound traffic, yes, it will make an attempt to send emails if you try.
-
yes its working i tried sending email to outside domain ... i will block it now ..

Now you know that you have that functionality down the road when you are ready.

Guys need urgent help
we change the Zimbra mail server IP from 192.168.4.XXX to 192.168.1.XXX now am unable to recieve emails from outside domain
please help -
@nagendra Zimbra needs just a few things to change the IP address:
- hostname must match the IP address (check that /etc/hosts is correct, and reports the right name of the zimbra machine)
- you must have the right IP address in zimbraMtaMyNetworks:
as zimbra user,
zmprov ms <yourmailserverfullname> zimbraMtaMyNetworks '127.0.0.1/8 192.168.4.0/16 <otherIPrangesyouneed>' - execute as zimbra user
postfix reload
and
postconf mynetworks
to check that everything is correct.
If you use an external dns server, make sure it returns the correct results for your changed IP.

guys need help
we have one more mail server in our premises @yourmail.com Zimbra is in @yourmail.studio we are trying to send email from @yourmail.studio to @yourmail.com its not working but we are able to receive mails from @yourmail.com
any solution?? -
Start with DNS for anything like this. Figure out how each server will look up the other.
Second, look at the error messages and see why it says that it was not sent.
-
This is the mail system at host mail.yourmail.studio.
I'm sorry to have to inform you that your message could not
be delivered to one or more recipients. It's attached below.
For further assistance, please send mail to postmaster.
If you do so, please include this problem report. You can
delete your own text from the attached returned message.
The mail system
nagendra@yourmail.com: Host or domain name not found. Name service error for
name=yourmail.com type=A: Host found but no data record of requested type -

The mail systemnagendra@yourmail.com: Host or domain name not found. Name service error for
name=yourmail.com type=A: Host found but no data record of requested typeRight, so there is your answer. Host or domain name not found. The sending system has not record for the receiving system, it has no idea where to send the mail. So DNS is the problem.

but able to recieve emails... but guess is it should not send and recieve emails both the ways right ??

Email is unidirectional. The ability to receive tells you nothing about the ability to send.

@scottalanmiller DNS problem in Zimbra Server >??
-
any help on this
-
Those DNS responses are quite different. Is one coming back from the DNS servers publicly and one from the local DNS?
