I’ve been playing around with Zimbra opensource edition on my development server. Zimbra is a full-featured, open source collaboration suite for  email, group calendaring, contacts, and web document management and authoring. web interface is equipped with AJAX and it is compatible with clients such as Outlook, Apple Mail, and Novell Evolution so that mail, contacts, and calendar items can be synchronised from these to the ZCS server.

DNs setting

mail.domain.tld.        A    192.168.1.2
domain.tld.             MX   10    mail.domain.tld.
