Pheww. For future reference, email (even local) depends heavily on hostname lookups. This will always be a problem with email servers so good to have that ready before even starting the email installation.

Receive ONLY? Yes, that can be done. You would need to fix the DNS issues, and you would need to open port 25 on your firewall and point it to the Zimbra server, and you would need to open port 25 on the Zimbra server itself. To stop outgoing emails, block port 25 outbound on the main firewall (a good practice, anyway.)

@scottalanmiller thanks a trillion

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.

nagendra

@scottalanmiller yes ports are already opened . can i send outside also now ???

scottalanmiller

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.

nagendra

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.

nagendra

thanks to everyone so whenever i setup a email server i will make sure all the above is followed ...
