Here is what is in my /etc/hosts file

192.168.1.65    kc8tdw.com      kc8tdw
192.168.1.65    mail.kc8tdw.com mail


Everything that I have read, I have put in, but Zimbra still complains that
it can't find the mx record.  I have tried kc8tdw.com and also
mail.kc8tdw.com and still no go.  Any more ideas?

Thanks,


Ken
