I've been struggling with what seems like an SMTP problem for a few days now (I'm stubborn that way and like to resolve things myself...), but now am turning to you for help (finally came to my senses).
I am running a single server Zimbra install on Ubuntu 6.06 LTS server (non-LAMP install) within VMWare on Windows XP host. The install and configuration went fine after reading a few guides on various sites, including the Zimbra forums (see http://www.howtoforge.com/installing_zi ... _on_ubuntu"] here for main install and here for split DNS config using bind9).
Overall, the install went well. I can send email between users on the server, but not send/receive externally. All messages end up as deferred due to connection time-outs.
I have tried several things, including several uninstall/install cycles, but to no avail. I also verified that the A and MX records are correct, etc.
I believe the problem is in the SMTP setup, as there in no response from external telnet session into the server on port 25 (internally it's fine).
I tried the various diagnostic methods found on the wiki and other places, but don't seem to be able to identify the specific problem.
Here is what's in the /var/log/zimbra.log file:
Jan 22 00:40:39 mail postfix/qmgr[19792]: 0343CCB587: from=, size=1143, nrcpt=1 (queue active)
Jan 22 00:41:09 mail postfix/smtp[19795]: connect to krauze.net[65.254.40.226]: Connection timed out (port 25)
Jan 22 00:41:09 mail postfix/smtp[19795]: 0343CCB587: to=, relay=none, delay=269, delays=239/0.08/30/0, dsn=4.4.1, status=deferred (connect to krauze.net[65.254.40.226]: Connection timed out)
I'm hoping you can help me...
Thanks.

Hello,
Check firewall settings and if possibel disable firewall and try telnet
your question indicate that bind is not properly installed please check A record and restart bind
try this command " nslookup it must return your internal address which actually configured with your Lan card.

SMTP problem
in opensuse there is a sysconfig option SMTPD_LISTEN_REMOTE that is set to no by default. this makes it so the smtp server only listens to hosts on it's network or maybe localhost i can't remember. that bit me in the rear a few times. maybe there is something like this in ubuntu as well?

I have verified that it's all ok, yet SMTP doesn't work...
yair@mail:~$ nslookup yairkrauze.com
Server: 192.168.0.11
Address: 192.168.0.11#53
Name: yairkrauze.com
Address: 192.168.0.11
root@mail:~# host -t mx yairkrauze.com
yairkrauze.com mail is handled by 10 mail.yairkrauze.com.
root@mail:~# host -t a mail.yairkrauze.com
mail.yairkrauze.com has address 192.168.0.11
It looks like my ISP is blocking port 25. I'll have to find a work-around.
