You'll want to do a dig on an MX record: dig in mx kc8tdw.com This will give you in the answers section your MX record, which should be mail.kc8tdw.com. Probably what Zimbra is freaking out about is that it does not think it owns that IP address. All you should need is an entry in your hosts file (/etc/hosts) on your Zimbra box telling it that mail.kc8tdw.com is the interface's IP address. Mike K.
