[SOLVED] Unable to send or receive e-mail within zimbra

Post by admmcoe »

I'm totally new to ZIMBRA VM Appliance. I'm using VMPlayer to test the Z-Appliance.
We set up an evaluation instance of Zimbra Collaboration Suite Appliance on our local area network. We are running ZCA on our local network wehre we also have our corporate mail server. To avoid disrupting existing email operations, we have not changed our DNS MX record during the evaluation.
We created two local ZCA accounts but get the following error when account 1 sends an email to account 2:
May 2 15:23:12 asegvmail postfix/smtp[500]: 641AA360A4: to=, relay=none, delay=444, delays=444/0.03/0/0, dsn=4.4.1, status=deferred (connect to 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:10024: Connection refused)

May 2 15:23:12 asegvmail postfix/smtp[501]: CE5E43609E: to=, relay=none, delay=566, delays=566/0.03/0/0, dsn=4.4.1, status=deferred (connect to 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:10024: Connection refused)
Is there an additional configuration setting we may have missed? Any help would be appreciated.

The following has been accomplished:
Downloaded the appliance

Powered on the appliance

Created password for the virtual machine

Established the Zimbra Hostname

Completed the Admin Email address

Completed the Admin Password

Successfully Auto-fetch trial license

Accessed the Zimbra Administration Console

Completed static IP addresses

Verified the Zimbra server has a Host (A) record in DNS

Created two Email accounts

Go to the wiki and read the articles on Split DNS and Split Domain' (for co-existence with your current server).
