Open the VMware console and login the console with: username: djigzo-admin password: djigzo the Djigzo console should now be opened. Now select Info -\> DNS. This should show the IP address of the configured DNS. If no DNS is set, you can manually set the DNS in Config -\> DNS. See the Djigzo virtual appliance guide for more information: [http://www.djigzo.com/documents/virtual-appliance-guide.pdf](http://www.djigzo.com/documents/virtual-appliance-guide.pdf) Kind regards, Martijn Brinkers > **···** > > On 05/26/2011 02:05 PM, jhallett(a)mindea.com wrote: > > >     Hi Martin. > >    I downloaded and setup the VMWare image.

Maybe "dnsutils" should be included so one can test DNS resolution with "dig"? If you test the Appliance at Home or behind some cheap broadband router it might be the problem that some of these devices don't support MX record queries. You can try to install "dig" with "sudo apt-get install dnsutils" and then test the MX resolution with "dig somedomain MX". Regards Andreas ---

Yes I'll do that since I had to install dnsutils more than once when installing the Virtual Appliance. I try to keep the Virtual Appliance as clean as possible to make it more secure and make it less likely that updates should be installed. dnsutils (and Telnet) however are tools that come handy. I will add them when the virtual appliance is updated. > If you test the Appliance at Home or behind some cheap broadband router > it might be the problem that some of these devices don't support MX > record queries. > > You can try to install "dig" with "sudo apt-get install dnsutils" and > then test the MX resolution with "dig somedomain MX". And if you need telnet (to manually test SMTP connection) you can install it with sudo apt-get install telnet PS. make sure you install all updates first (can be done from the console Other -\> update Kind regards, Martijn > **···** > > On 01/-10/-28163 08:59 PM, lst\_hoe02(a)kwsoft.de wrote: > > -- > Djigzo open source email encryption
