Just a little problem...

Hi. I want to start off by saying how impressed I am with Zimbra. Good Job. Installation was a sinch..but now I've got a couple of problems.
This morning, all of the sudden, we could send messages, but not receive them. All the MX records are in the right place. So, I assumed that it was an Hosts file issue.
My hosts file has the normal localhost entry, then it has

Now, our router forwards all mail requests to the Ip address of the machine.
So, I changed the host file and altered the config in the web ui- I took off the machinename in front of the domain name.
Then everything went to heck. So, I did a re-install/upgrade. Now zimbra works, but I still can't send...and I can't change any of the server settings... Myk question is, is there a way I can backup all the user accounts, and mail stores...do a complete re-install...and restore them?
Thanks!

I think that it's an MX record problem.
The funny thing is, it was working...then it wasn't. What is the proper config for the hosts file?

I did a re-install and unchecked DNS lookup in the admin ui
