DNS problem

[cougarmaster]

Hi all,

    I am getting a bit confused here about setting the DNS with MX records. The thing I need to do is that I have a zimbra server running and I can't resolve the MX record to it. I am using pfsense as my firewall and using zentyal as samba and now DNS. Here is the DNS from dig :-

; <<>> DiG 9.7.2-P3 <<>> example.com MX
;; global options: +cmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 48267
;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 2, ADDITIONAL: 2

I have entered all this from the GUI in zentyal and not editing the files directly. Also is there a way to point directly to an internal address?

Hi there,

In mail exchanger model, you may set a host in your Zentyal managed domain or any other FQDN host.

For instance, if you have example.com as internal Zentyal domain, then you may set mail as hostname whose IP address is 192.168.12.43. Then, in the mail exchanger model, you may create as mail exchanger the mail host and it will point it to the internal IP address set above.

Hope this helps you.

Best regards,
