Problem

In multi-server environment, how to move distribution list from one mailbox server to another?

Solution

In below example test@example.com is moved from mailbox server example.com to example2.com

1) Check current value of attribute zimbraMailhost for DL

$ zmprov gdl test@example.com |grep zimbraMailhost

The above command will return the below output

zimbraMailHost: example.com

2) To move a distribution list, zimbraMailhost needs to be changed with new mailbox server's hostname

zmprov mdl test@example.com zimbraMailhost example2.com

3) Then flush the server cache

zmprov fc all
