So, the idea here is to have people connect to my VM mail server in a LAN scenario, log into a mail account I've set up with inbox contents of my engineering to do some anti-phishing training. My problem is that I can't seem to get it all quite working right, and I think the issue is DNS, since from my Windows 7 client VM I can connect to the mailuser@IPaddress but can't do mailuser@test.lab (my spoofed domain.) I'm using Thunderbird within Windows to connect to the Ubuntu server, and am using Postfix with Dovecot for the mail server with a typical LAMP stack.

Sorry for the slow response, been a crazy few weeks. I added the A record, and I can still connect with the client VM as mailuser@192.168.56.101, but I can't connect to mailuser@test.lab. I can also ping 192.168.56.101, but can't ping mailserv or mailserv.test.lab. I set the DNS server to 192.168.56.101 in the network adapter settings, so that should be ok. – Arvandor – 2014-10-27T23:05:18.063
