I'm installing Zimbra Collaboration Server on my local machine to test them mail server. During installation I got error:
DNS ERROR resolving MX for my.local.domain
It is suggested that the domain name have an MX record configured in DNS
I don't have experience with zimbra or mail serwer. In Internet I found incomplete solutions like:
Add this record to config:
server1 IN MX 10 server1.tm.local.
but I don't know where exactly should I add this or how to proper config mail server.
My question is, how to proper config dns to work with zimbra?
Answer
You can install zimbra without MX record but A record of the hostname must be resolved on installation you have to set a hostname with :
#hostname server1.yourdomain.com
edit /etc/hostname and enter "server1" edit /etc/hosts by adding : ip-address server1.yourdomaine.com server1
test it by pinging server1.yourdomaine.com
restart the install when zimbra tell you if want to change mx record answer by NO
