<div class="col-md-9">
The Zimbra Collaboration includes the Zimbra MTA, the Zimbra LDAP server, and the Zimbra mailbox server. In a single-server installation, all components are installed on one server and require no additional manual configuration.


This installation guide is a quick start guide that describes the basic steps needed to install and configure Zimbra Collaboration in a direct network connect environment. In this environment, the Zimbra server is assigned a domain for which it receives mail, and a direct network connection to the Internet. When Zimbra Collaboration is installed, you will be able to log on to the Zimbra administration console to manage the domain and provision accounts. The accounts you create are able to send and receive external email.
'''Important Notice About Single Server Installations'''
Zimbra Collaboration is designed to be the only application suite installed on the server. Zimbra Collaboration bundles and installs, as part of the installation process various other third party and open source software, including Apache Jetty, Postfix, and OpenLDAP®. The versions installed have been tested and configured to work with the Zimbra software. See the Administrator’s Guide for a complete list of software.
A Zimbra license is required in order to create accounts on the Zimbra Collaboration Network Edition. You cannot install Zimbra Collaboration without a license.
The following table shows the default port settings when Zimbra Collaboration is installed.

===Modifying Operating System Configurations===
Zimbra Collaboration runs on one of several operating systems, including Ubuntu® LTS, Red Hat® Enterprise Linux, and SUSE® Linux Enterprise.
Installation modifications for frequently used operating systems are described in individual configuration documents found on the Zimbra Collaboration documentation website. Other operating systems may require similar modifications, and you can use the information contained in these documents as a reference to gauge whether your operating system might need to be modified.
A full default installation of the Linux distribution that you select is required.
'''Note:''' Zimbra recommends that the operating systems you use are updated with the latest patches that have been tested with Zimbra Collaboration. See the latest release notes to see the operating systems patch list that has been tested with Zimbra Collaboration.
===Configuring High-Fidelity Document Preview (Network Edition Only)===
The high-fidelity document preview feature requires the installation of LibreOffice or the LibreOffice-headless package, depending on the operating system you are running.
If the LibreOffice is installed, the system is automatically configured to use the high-fidelity document preview. If LibreOffice is not installed, the preview engine from prior Zimbra Collaboration releases is used.
This can be accomplished with the Linux package management systems:
* For RHEL, install the libreoffice-headless package:
<pre>yum install libreoffice
yum install libreoffice-headless</pre>
* For SLES, install libreoffice:
<pre>yast2 -i libreoffice</pre>
* For Ubuntu, install libreoffice:
<pre>apt-get install libreoffice</pre>
====Install Language and Font Packages====
Confirm you have the appropriate language packs or fonts installed for LibreOffice to properly view documents and attachments. For example:
* If using Ubuntu 12.04 and viewing East Asian languages, be sure to install:
<pre>apt-get install libreoffice-l10n-*
apt-get install ttf-vlgothic</pre>
* If using Ubuntu 14.04 and viewing East Asian languages, be sure to install:
<pre>apt-get install libreoffice-l10n-*
apt-get install fonts-vlgothic</pre>
* If using RHEL, be sure to install apt-get install:
<pre>libreoffice-langpack-xx</pre>
===DNS Configuration Requirement===
In order to send and receive email, the Zimbra MTA must be configured in DNS with both A and MX records. For sending mail, the MTA uses DNS to resolve hostnames and email-routing information. To receive mail, the MX record must be configured correctly to route the message to the mail server.
During the installation process, Zimbra Collaboration checks to see if you have an MX record correctly configured. If it is not, an error is displayed suggesting that the domain name have an MX record configured in DNS.
You must configure a relay host if you do not enable DNS. After Zimbra Collaboration is installed, go to the Global Settings>MTA tab on the administration console and uncheck Enable DNS lookups. Enter the relay MTA address to use for external delivery.
'''Note:'''Even if a relay host is configured, an MX record is still required if the Zimbra Collaboration server is going to receive email from the Internet.
===Overview of Installation Process===
When you run the install script, the process verifies that the correct prerequisite Zimbra application packages are available to be installed.
====Zimbra Application Packages====
Zimbra architecture includes open-source integrations using industry standard protocols. The third-party software has been tested and configured to work with the Zimbra software.
The following describes the Zimbra packages that are installed.
* '''Zimbra Core:''' This package includes the libraries, utilities, monitoring tools, and basic configuration files. Zimbra Core is automatically installed on each server.
* '''Zimbra Store:''' The Zimbra store includes the components for the mailbox server, including Jetty, which is the servlet container the Zimbra software runs within. The Zimbra mailbox server includes the following components:
** Data store: The data store is a MariaDB© database.
** Message store: The message store is where all email messages and file attachments reside.
** Index store: Index and search technology is provided through Lucene. Index files are maintained for each mailbox.
** Web application services: The Jetty web application server runs web applications (webapps) on any store server. It provides one or more web application services.
* '''Zimbra LDAP:'''User authentication is provided through OpenLDAP® software. Each account on the Zimbra server has a unique mailbox ID that is the primary point of reference to identify the account. The OpenLDAP schema has been customized for Zimbra Collaboration. The Zimbra LDAP server must be configured before the other servers. You can set up LDAP replication, configuring a master LDAP server and replica LDAP servers.
* '''Zimbra MTA:''' Postfix is the open source mail transfer agent (MTA) that receives email via SMTP and routes each message to the appropriate Zimbra mailbox server using Local Mail Transfer Protocol (LMTP). The Zimbra MTA also includes the anti-virus and anti-spam components.
* '''Zimbra Proxy:''' Zimbra Proxy is a high-performance reverse proxy service for passing IMAP[S]/POP[S]/HTTP[S] client requests to other internal ZCS services.This package is normally installed on the MTA server(s) or on its own independent server(s). When the zimbra-proxy package is installed, the proxy feature is enabled by default. Installing the Zimbra Proxy is highly recommended, and required if using a separate web application server.
* '''Zimbra Memcached:''' Memcached is automatically selected when the zimbra-proxy is installed. At least one server must run zimbra-memcached when the proxy is in use. You can use a single memcached server with one or more Zimbra proxies.
* '''Zimbra SNMP:''' Installing the Zimbra SNMP package is optional. If you choose to install zimbra-SNMP for monitoring, this package should be installed on every Zimbra server.
* '''Zimbra Logger:''' Installing the Zimbra Logger package is optional and is installed on one mailbox server. The Zimbra Logger installs tools for syslog aggregation and reporting. If you do not install Logger, the server statistics section of the administration console will not display. '''Note:''' The Logger package must be installed at the same time as the mailbox server.
* '''Zimbra Spell:''' Installing the Zimbra Spell package is optional. Aspell is the open source spell checker used on the Zimbra Web Client.
* '''Zimbra Apache:''' This package is installed automatically when Zimbra Spell or Zimbra Convertd is installed.
The Zimbra server configuration is menu driven. The installation menu shows you the default configuration values. The menu displays the logical host name and email domain name [mailhost.example.com] as configured on the computer. You can change any of the values. For single server installs, you must define the administrator’s password, which you use to log on to the administration console, and you specify the location of the Zimbra license xml file.
===Downloading the Zimbra Software===
Obtain the Zimbra Collaboration software download and save to the computer from which you will install the software.
===Zimbra License Requirements (Network Edition Only)===
Zimbra Collaboration licensing gives administrators better visibility and control into the licensed features they plan to deploy. The following is a summary of the feature attributes of a Zimbra Collaboration network edition license.
* '''Accounts limit.''' The maximum number of accounts you can create and the number of accounts created are shown.
* '''Mobile accounts limit.''' The maximum number of accounts that can have the native mail mobile feature enabled.
* '''Touch Client accounts limit'''. The maximum number of accounts that can have the touch client mobile feature enabled.

* '''Trial'''. You can obtain a free Trial license from the Zimbra website, at www.zimbra.com. The trial license allows you to create up to 50 users. It expires in 60 days.
*  '''Trial Extended.''' You can obtain a Trial Extended license from Zimbra Sales by contacting sales@zimbra.com or calling 1-650-427-5701. This license allows you to create up to 50 users and is valid for an extended period of time.
* Subscription. You must purchase the Zimbra Subscription license. This license is valid for a specific Zimbra Collaboration system and is encrypted with the number of Zimbra accounts (seats) you have purchased, the effective date, and expiration date of the subscription license.
* '''Perpetual.''' You must purchase the Zimbra Perpetual license. This license is similar to a subscription license and is valid for a specific Zimbra Collaboration system, is encrypted with the number of Zimbra accounts (seats) you have purchased, the effective date, and an expiration date of 2099-12-31. When you renew your support agreement, no new perpetual license is sent to you, but your Account records in the systems is updated with your new support end date.
====License Usage by Zimbra Collaboration Account Type====
A mailbox license is required for an account assigned to a person, including accounts created for archiving. Distribution lists, aliases, locations and resources do not count against the license.
Below is a description of Zimbra Collaboration accounts and if they impact your license limit.
* System accounts. System accounts are specific accounts used by Zimbra Collaboration. They include the spam filter accounts for junk mail (spam and ham), virus quarantine account for email messages with viruses, and GALsync account if you configure GAL for your domain. Do not delete these accounts! These accounts do not count against your license.
* Administrator account. Administrator accounts count against your license.
* User accounts. User accounts count against your license account limit.
When you delete an account, the license account limit reflects the change.
* Alias account. Aliases do not count against your license.
* Distribution list. Distribution lists do not count against your license.
* Resource account. Resource accounts (location and resources) do not count against your ZCS license.
====License Activation====
All network edition installations require license activation. New installations have a 10 day grace period from the license issue date before requiring activation. Your license can be activated from the administration console by selecting Configure>Global Settings>License page, then clicking Activate License in the toolbar. You can also activate your license from the command line interface.
Upgraded Zimbra Collaboration versions require an immediate activation to maintain network feature functionality.
====Automatic License Activation====
Licenses are automatically activated if the Zimbra Collaboration server has a connection to the Internet and can communicate with the Zimbra License server. If you are unable to automatically activate your license, see the next section Manual License Activation.
====Manual License Activation====
For systems that do not have external access to the Zimbra License server, you can use the Zimbra Support Portal to manually activate your license. Go to the Zimbra website at www.zimbra.com and click on the Support page to display the Zimbra Technical Support page. Click on the Support Portal Login button to display the Zimbra Support Portal page. Enter your email and password to log in.
====License Not Installed or Activated====
If you fail to install or activate your Zimbra Collaboration server license, the following scenarios describe how your Zimbra Collaboration server will be impacted.
* License is not installed. If a license is not installed, the Zimbra Collaboration defaults to single user mode where all features limited by license are limited to one user.
* License is not valid. If the license file is forged or could not be validated for other reasons, the Zimbra Collaboration defaults to single user mode.
* License is not activated. A license activation grace period is 10 days. If for some reason the license is never activated, the Zimbra Collaboration defaults to single user mode.
* License is in future. If the license starting date is still in the future, the Zimbra Collaboration defaults to single user mode.
* License is in grace period. If the license ending date has passed and is within the 30 day grace period, all features limited by license are still enabled, but administrators may see license renewal prompts.
* License expired. If the license ending date has passed and the 30 day grace period expired, the Zimbra Collaboration server defaults to the feature set of the Open Source Edition.
====Obtaining a License====
Go to Zimbra’s Website to obtain a trial license from the Network Downloads area. Contact Zimbra sales regarding a trial extended license, or to purchase a subscription license or perpetual license, by emailing sales@zimbra.com or calling 1-650-427-5701.
The subscription and perpetual license can only be installed on the Zimbra Collaboration system for which it is purchased. Only one Zimbra license is required for your Zimbra Collaboration environment. This license sets the number of accounts that can be created.
Current license information, including the number of accounts purchased, the number of accounts used, and the expiration date, can be viewed from '''Configure>Global Settings>License''' page on the administration console.
===Basic Configuration===
The default configuration installs the Zimbra-LDAP, the Zimbra-MTA with anti-virus and anti-spam protection, the Zimbra mailbox server, the SNMP monitoring tools (optional), Zimbra-spell (optional), the logger tool (optional), and the Zimbra proxy (optional) on one server.
The menu driven installation displays the components and their existing default values. You can modify the information during the installation process.

===Installing Zimbra Collaboration Software===
'''Important:''' Before you begin, make sure to:
* (Network Edition Only) Store your license in a directory folder on your server as it is needed to complete your installation of Zimbra Collaboration.
* Confirm you have the latest system requirements and prerequisites for installing Zimbra Collaboration.
Open an SSH session to the Zimbra server and follow the steps below:
1. Log in as root to the Zimbra server and cd to the directory where the Zimbra Collaboration archive tar file is saved (cd /var/<tmp>). Type the following commands:
* Unpack the file: <code>tar xzvf [zcsfullfilename.tgz]</code>
* Change to the correct directory: <code>cd [zcsfullfilename]</code>
* Begin the installation: <code>./install.sh</code>
The install.sh script reviews the installation software to verify that the Zimbra packages are available.

===Final Set-Up===
After the Zimbra servers are configured, the following functions must be configured.
'''Important:''' Zimbra Collaboration supports the default syslog of a supported operating system. Depending on your operating system, the steps contained in this section might not be correct. See your operating system documentation for specific information about how to enable syslog.
* If logger is installed, set up the syslog configuration files to enable server statistics to display on the administration console, and enable the logger monitor host. The server statistics includes information about the message count, message volume, and anti-spam and anti-virus activity.
* Zimbra Collaboration ships a default zimbra user with a disabled password. Zimbra Collaboration requires access to this account via ssh public key authentication. On most operating systems this combination is okay, but if you have modified pam rules to disallow any ssh access to disabled accounts then you must define a password for the zimbra UNIX account. This will allow ssh key authentication for checking remote queues. See the Zimbra wiki article, Mail Queue Monitoring.
'''Set up the ssh keys.''' To populate the ssh keys, as Zimbra user (su-zimbra). Type zmupdateauthkeys and press Enter. The key is updated on /opt/zimbra/.ssh/authorized_keys.
'''Enabling Server Statistics Display.''' In order for the server statistics to display on the administration console, the syslog configuration files must be modified.
1. As root, type /opt/zimbra/libexec/zmsyslogsetup. This enables the server to display statistics.
2. You must enable syslog to log statistics from remote machines.
* Edit the /etc/sysconfig/syslog file, add -r to the SYSLOGD_OPTIONS
setting, SYSLOGD_options=”-r -m 0”
* Stop the syslog daemon. Type /etc/init.d/syslog stop
* Start the syslog daemon. Type /etc/init.d/syslog start
'''Note: On DEBIAN AND UBUNTU, step 2 is as follows'''
* Edit the /etc/default/syslogd file, add -r to the SYSLOGD_OPTIONS
setting, SYSLOGD_options=”-r -m 0”
* Stop the syslog daemon. Type /etc/init.d/sysklogd stop
* Start the syslog daemon. Type /etc/init.d/sysklogd start
===Optional Configurations===
You can configure the following options:
====Scanning Attachments in Outgoing Mail====
You can enable real-time scanning of attachments in outgoing emails sent using the Zimbra Web Client. If enabled, when an attachment is added to an email, it is scanned using ClamAV prior to sending the message. If ClamAV detects a virus, it will block attaching the file to the message. By default, scanning is configured for a single node installation.
To enable using a single node:
<pre>
zmprov mcf zimbraAttachmentsScanURL clam://localhost:3310/ zmprov mcf zimbraAttachmentsScanEnabled TRUE
</pre>
===Provisioning Accounts===
Once the mailbox server is running, open your browser, enter the administration console URL and log on to the console to provision email accounts. The administration console URL is entered as:
<pre>https://[mailhost.example.com]:7071</pre>
'''Note:''' To go to the administration console, you must type https, even if you configured the Web server mode as HTTP.
The first time you log on, a warning may be displayed stating the connection is untrusted. This only applies the first time you log in. Click I understand the Risks to be able to connect to the Zimbra administration console. Then click OK.
Enter the admin user name and password configured during the installation process. Enter the name as admin@mailhost.example.com.
====Activate the Zimbra Collaboration license (Network Edition Only)====
After you log on, a dialog displays stating your license is not activated. Go to Global Settings>License and click Activate License on the toolbar. Click OK to continue.
====Provision accounts====
You can configure one account at a time with the New Account Wizard or you can create many accounts at once using the Account Migration Wizard.
====Configuring One Account====
The administration console New Account wizard steps you through the account information to be completed.
1. From the administration console Home page’s Content pane, go to Add Accounts.
'''Note:''' Four accounts are listed: admin account, two spam training accounts, and a global Documents account. These accounts do not need any additional configuration.
2. Click Add Account. The first page of the New Account wizard opens.
3. Enter the account name to be used as the email address and the last
name. This the only required information to create an account.
4. You can click Finish at this point, and the account is configured with the default COS and global features.
To configure aliases, forwarding addresses, and specific features for this account, proceed through the dialog before you click Finish. When the accounts are provisioned, you can send and receive emails.
====Importing Content from User Mailboxes====
Zimbra developed different applications to facilitate moving a user’s email messages, calendars, and contacts from their old email servers to their accounts on the Zimbra server. When the user’s files are imported, the folder hierarchy is maintained. Use one of the Zimbra Collaboration utilities to move user mail to Zimbra Collaboration to guarantee that all information is imported correctly.
The following applications can be accessed from the administration console Download page, and instruction guides are available from the Help Desk page or from the Zimbra Website, Documentation page.
Alternatively, you can download the following applications from http://{example.com/downloads}/index.html (with “example” being your Zimbra server name).
* Zimbra Collaboration Migration Wizard for Exchange. Format is an .exe file. You can migrate users from Microsoft® Exchange server email accounts to Zimbra server accounts.
* Zimbra Collaboration Migration Wizard for Domino. Format is an .exe file. You can migrate users from Lotus Domino server email accounts to Zimbra server accounts.
* PST Import Wizard (User Instructions). Format is an .exe file. Users download the Import Wizard to their computers and run the executable file to import their Outlook .pst files to the Zimbra server. Before users run this utility, Zimbra recommends that they run the Outlook Inbox Repair tool, scanpst.exe, on their .pst files, to clean up any errors in their file. For more information about this tool, go to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/287497.
====Administrators Account====
Initial administrative tasks when you log on for the first time may include setting up the admin mailbox to include features, aliases, and forwarding addresses needed for the administrator’s working environment.
Two aliases for the admin account are created during install:
* '''Postmaster'''. The postmaster address is displayed in emails that are automatically generated from Postfix when messages cannot be sent. If users reply to this address, the message is forwarded to the admin mailbox.
* '''Root'''. This address is where notification messages from the operating system are sent.
If you entered a notification address for AV alerts when you configured the MTA, that is different from the default, you need to create that account in the administration console. If you didn’t change the default during installation, the anti-virus notification is sent directly to the admin account.
===Uninstalling Zimbra Collaboration===
To uninstall servers, run the install script -u, delete the Zimbra Collaboration directory, and remove the zcs.tgz file on the servers.
1. cd to the original install directory for the Zimbra Collaboration files.
2. Type ./install.sh -u
3. When Completely remove existing installation? is displayed, type Yes
The Zimbra servers are stopped, the existing packages, the webapp directories, and the /opt/zimbra directory are removed.
4. Type rm -rf [zcsfullfilename] to delete the Zimbra Collaboration directory.
5. Delete the zcs.tgz file.

Performing a Single-Server Installation

The Zimbra Collaboration includes the Zimbra MTA, the Zimbra LDAP server, and the Zimbra mailbox server. In a single-server installation, all components are installed on one server and require no additional manual configuration.

This installation guide is a quick start guide that describes the basic steps needed to install and configure Zimbra Collaboration in a direct network connect environment. In this environment, the Zimbra server is assigned a domain for which it receives mail, and a direct network connection to the Internet. When Zimbra Collaboration is installed, you will be able to log on to the Zimbra administration console to manage the domain and provision accounts. The accounts you create are able to send and receive external email.

Important Notice About Single Server Installations

Zimbra Collaboration is designed to be the only application suite installed on the server. Zimbra Collaboration bundles and installs, as part of the installation process various other third party and open source software, including Apache Jetty, Postfix, and OpenLDAP®. The versions installed have been tested and configured to work with the Zimbra software. See the Administrator’s Guide for a complete list of software.

A Zimbra license is required in order to create accounts on the Zimbra Collaboration Network Edition. You cannot install Zimbra Collaboration without a license.

The following table shows the default port settings when Zimbra Collaboration is installed.

Zimbra Port Mapping

Remote Queue Manager 22
Postfix 25
HTTP 80
POP3 110
IMAP 143
LDAP 389
HTTPS 443
Mailboxd IMAP SSL 993
Mailboxd Pop SSL 995
Mailboxd LMTP 7025

Important:You cannot have any other web server, database, LDAP, or MTA server running, when you install the Zimbra software. If you have installed any of the applications before you install Zimbra software, disable these applications. During the Zimbra Collaboration installation, Zimbra makes global system changes that may break applications that are on your server.

Modifying Operating System Configurations

Zimbra Collaboration runs on one of several operating systems, including Ubuntu® LTS, Red Hat® Enterprise Linux, and SUSE® Linux Enterprise.

Installation modifications for frequently used operating systems are described in individual configuration documents found on the Zimbra Collaboration documentation website. Other operating systems may require similar modifications, and you can use the information contained in these documents as a reference to gauge whether your operating system might need to be modified.

A full default installation of the Linux distribution that you select is required.

Note: Zimbra recommends that the operating systems you use are updated with the latest patches that have been tested with Zimbra Collaboration. See the latest release notes to see the operating systems patch list that has been tested with Zimbra Collaboration.

Configuring High-Fidelity Document Preview (Network Edition Only)

The high-fidelity document preview feature requires the installation of LibreOffice or the LibreOffice-headless package, depending on the operating system you are running.

If the LibreOffice is installed, the system is automatically configured to use the high-fidelity document preview. If LibreOffice is not installed, the preview engine from prior Zimbra Collaboration releases is used.

This can be accomplished with the Linux package management systems:

  • For RHEL, install the libreoffice-headless package:
yum install libreoffice
yum install libreoffice-headless
  • For SLES, install libreoffice:
yast2 -i libreoffice
  • For Ubuntu, install libreoffice:
apt-get install libreoffice

Install Language and Font Packages

Confirm you have the appropriate language packs or fonts installed for LibreOffice to properly view documents and attachments. For example:

  • If using Ubuntu 12.04 and viewing East Asian languages, be sure to install:
apt-get install libreoffice-l10n-*
apt-get install ttf-vlgothic
  • If using Ubuntu 14.04 and viewing East Asian languages, be sure to install:
apt-get install libreoffice-l10n-*
apt-get install fonts-vlgothic
  • If using RHEL, be sure to install apt-get install:
libreoffice-langpack-xx

DNS Configuration Requirement

In order to send and receive email, the Zimbra MTA must be configured in DNS with both A and MX records. For sending mail, the MTA uses DNS to resolve hostnames and email-routing information. To receive mail, the MX record must be configured correctly to route the message to the mail server.

During the installation process, Zimbra Collaboration checks to see if you have an MX record correctly configured. If it is not, an error is displayed suggesting that the domain name have an MX record configured in DNS.

You must configure a relay host if you do not enable DNS. After Zimbra Collaboration is installed, go to the Global Settings>MTA tab on the administration console and uncheck Enable DNS lookups. Enter the relay MTA address to use for external delivery.


Note:Even if a relay host is configured, an MX record is still required if the Zimbra Collaboration server is going to receive email from the Internet.

Overview of Installation Process

When you run the install script, the process verifies that the correct prerequisite Zimbra application packages are available to be installed.

Zimbra Application Packages

Zimbra architecture includes open-source integrations using industry standard protocols. The third-party software has been tested and configured to work with the Zimbra software.

The following describes the Zimbra packages that are installed.

  • Zimbra Core: This package includes the libraries, utilities, monitoring tools, and basic configuration files. Zimbra Core is automatically installed on each server.
  • Zimbra Store: The Zimbra store includes the components for the mailbox server, including Jetty, which is the servlet container the Zimbra software runs within. The Zimbra mailbox server includes the following components:
    • Data store: The data store is a MariaDB© database.
    • Message store: The message store is where all email messages and file attachments reside.
    • Index store: Index and search technology is provided through Lucene. Index files are maintained for each mailbox.
    • Web application services: The Jetty web application server runs web applications (webapps) on any store server. It provides one or more web application services.
  • Zimbra LDAP:User authentication is provided through OpenLDAP® software. Each account on the Zimbra server has a unique mailbox ID that is the primary point of reference to identify the account. The OpenLDAP schema has been customized for Zimbra Collaboration. The Zimbra LDAP server must be configured before the other servers. You can set up LDAP replication, configuring a master LDAP server and replica LDAP servers.
  • Zimbra MTA: Postfix is the open source mail transfer agent (MTA) that receives email via SMTP and routes each message to the appropriate Zimbra mailbox server using Local Mail Transfer Protocol (LMTP). The Zimbra MTA also includes the anti-virus and anti-spam components.
  • Zimbra Proxy: Zimbra Proxy is a high-performance reverse proxy service for passing IMAP[S]/POP[S]/HTTP[S] client requests to other internal ZCS services.This package is normally installed on the MTA server(s) or on its own independent server(s). When the zimbra-proxy package is installed, the proxy feature is enabled by default. Installing the Zimbra Proxy is highly recommended, and required if using a separate web application server.
  • Zimbra Memcached: Memcached is automatically selected when the zimbra-proxy is installed. At least one server must run zimbra-memcached when the proxy is in use. You can use a single memcached server with one or more Zimbra proxies.
  • Zimbra SNMP: Installing the Zimbra SNMP package is optional. If you choose to install zimbra-SNMP for monitoring, this package should be installed on every Zimbra server.
  • Zimbra Logger: Installing the Zimbra Logger package is optional and is installed on one mailbox server. The Zimbra Logger installs tools for syslog aggregation and reporting. If you do not install Logger, the server statistics section of the administration console will not display. Note: The Logger package must be installed at the same time as the mailbox server.
  • Zimbra Spell: Installing the Zimbra Spell package is optional. Aspell is the open source spell checker used on the Zimbra Web Client.
  • Zimbra Apache: This package is installed automatically when Zimbra Spell or Zimbra Convertd is installed.

The Zimbra server configuration is menu driven. The installation menu shows you the default configuration values. The menu displays the logical host name and email domain name [mailhost.example.com] as configured on the computer. You can change any of the values. For single server installs, you must define the administrator’s password, which you use to log on to the administration console, and you specify the location of the Zimbra license xml file.

Downloading the Zimbra Software

Obtain the Zimbra Collaboration software download and save to the computer from which you will install the software.

Zimbra License Requirements (Network Edition Only)

Zimbra Collaboration licensing gives administrators better visibility and control into the licensed features they plan to deploy. The following is a summary of the feature attributes of a Zimbra Collaboration network edition license.

  • Accounts limit. The maximum number of accounts you can create and the number of accounts created are shown.
  • Mobile accounts limit. The maximum number of accounts that can have the native mail mobile feature enabled.
  • Touch Client accounts limit. The maximum number of accounts that can have the touch client mobile feature enabled.
  • MAPI accounts limit. The maximum number of accounts that can use Zimbra Connector for Microsoft Outlook (ZCO).

Zimbra License Requirements

A Zimbra license is required in order to create accounts in the Network Edition Zimbra Collaboration.

Several types of licenses are available:

  • Trial. You can obtain a free Trial license from the Zimbra website, at www.zimbra.com. The trial license allows you to create up to 50 users. It expires in 60 days.
  • Trial Extended. You can obtain a Trial Extended license from Zimbra Sales by contacting sales@zimbra.com or calling 1-650-427-5701. This license allows you to create up to 50 users and is valid for an extended period of time.
  • Subscription. You must purchase the Zimbra Subscription license. This license is valid for a specific Zimbra Collaboration system and is encrypted with the number of Zimbra accounts (seats) you have purchased, the effective date, and expiration date of the subscription license.
  • Perpetual. You must purchase the Zimbra Perpetual license. This license is similar to a subscription license and is valid for a specific Zimbra Collaboration system, is encrypted with the number of Zimbra accounts (seats) you have purchased, the effective date, and an expiration date of 2099-12-31. When you renew your support agreement, no new perpetual license is sent to you, but your Account records in the systems is updated with your new support end date.

License Usage by Zimbra Collaboration Account Type

A mailbox license is required for an account assigned to a person, including accounts created for archiving. Distribution lists, aliases, locations and resources do not count against the license.

Below is a description of Zimbra Collaboration accounts and if they impact your license limit.

  • System accounts. System accounts are specific accounts used by Zimbra Collaboration. They include the spam filter accounts for junk mail (spam and ham), virus quarantine account for email messages with viruses, and GALsync account if you configure GAL for your domain. Do not delete these accounts! These accounts do not count against your license.
  • Administrator account. Administrator accounts count against your license.
  • User accounts. User accounts count against your license account limit.

When you delete an account, the license account limit reflects the change.

  • Alias account. Aliases do not count against your license.
  • Distribution list. Distribution lists do not count against your license.
  • Resource account. Resource accounts (location and resources) do not count against your ZCS license.

License Activation

All network edition installations require license activation. New installations have a 10 day grace period from the license issue date before requiring activation. Your license can be activated from the administration console by selecting Configure>Global Settings>License page, then clicking Activate License in the toolbar. You can also activate your license from the command line interface.

Upgraded Zimbra Collaboration versions require an immediate activation to maintain network feature functionality.

Automatic License Activation

Licenses are automatically activated if the Zimbra Collaboration server has a connection to the Internet and can communicate with the Zimbra License server. If you are unable to automatically activate your license, see the next section Manual License Activation.

Manual License Activation

For systems that do not have external access to the Zimbra License server, you can use the Zimbra Support Portal to manually activate your license. Go to the Zimbra website at www.zimbra.com and click on the Support page to display the Zimbra Technical Support page. Click on the Support Portal Login button to display the Zimbra Support Portal page. Enter your email and password to log in.

License Not Installed or Activated

If you fail to install or activate your Zimbra Collaboration server license, the following scenarios describe how your Zimbra Collaboration server will be impacted.

  • License is not installed. If a license is not installed, the Zimbra Collaboration defaults to single user mode where all features limited by license are limited to one user.
  • License is not valid. If the license file is forged or could not be validated for other reasons, the Zimbra Collaboration defaults to single user mode.
  • License is not activated. A license activation grace period is 10 days. If for some reason the license is never activated, the Zimbra Collaboration defaults to single user mode.
  • License is in future. If the license starting date is still in the future, the Zimbra Collaboration defaults to single user mode.
  • License is in grace period. If the license ending date has passed and is within the 30 day grace period, all features limited by license are still enabled, but administrators may see license renewal prompts.
  • License expired. If the license ending date has passed and the 30 day grace period expired, the Zimbra Collaboration server defaults to the feature set of the Open Source Edition.

Obtaining a License

Go to Zimbra’s Website to obtain a trial license from the Network Downloads area. Contact Zimbra sales regarding a trial extended license, or to purchase a subscription license or perpetual license, by emailing sales@zimbra.com or calling 1-650-427-5701.

The subscription and perpetual license can only be installed on the Zimbra Collaboration system for which it is purchased. Only one Zimbra license is required for your Zimbra Collaboration environment. This license sets the number of accounts that can be created.

Current license information, including the number of accounts purchased, the number of accounts used, and the expiration date, can be viewed from Configure>Global Settings>License page on the administration console.

Basic Configuration

The default configuration installs the Zimbra-LDAP, the Zimbra-MTA with anti-virus and anti-spam protection, the Zimbra mailbox server, the SNMP monitoring tools (optional), Zimbra-spell (optional), the logger tool (optional), and the Zimbra proxy (optional) on one server.

The menu driven installation displays the components and their existing default values. You can modify the information during the installation process. The table below describes the menu options.

2. The installation process checks to see if Sendmail, Postfix, and MySQL software are running. If any of these applications are running, you are asked to disable them. Disabling MySQL is optional but highly recommended. Sendmail and Postfix must be disabled for the Zimbra Collaboration to start correctly.

Configuration complete - press return to exit

Final Set-Up

After the Zimbra servers are configured, the following functions must be configured.

Important: Zimbra Collaboration supports the default syslog of a supported operating system. Depending on your operating system, the steps contained in this section might not be correct. See your operating system documentation for specific information about how to enable syslog.

  • If logger is installed, set up the syslog configuration files to enable server statistics to display on the administration console, and enable the logger monitor host. The server statistics includes information about the message count, message volume, and anti-spam and anti-virus activity.
  • Zimbra Collaboration ships a default zimbra user with a disabled password. Zimbra Collaboration requires access to this account via ssh public key authentication. On most operating systems this combination is okay, but if you have modified pam rules to disallow any ssh access to disabled accounts then you must define a password for the zimbra UNIX account. This will allow ssh key authentication for checking remote queues. See the Zimbra wiki article, Mail Queue Monitoring.

Set up the ssh keys. To populate the ssh keys, as Zimbra user (su-zimbra). Type zmupdateauthkeys and press Enter. The key is updated on /opt/zimbra/.ssh/authorized_keys.

Enabling Server Statistics Display. In order for the server statistics to display on the administration console, the syslog configuration files must be modified.

1. As root, type /opt/zimbra/libexec/zmsyslogsetup. This enables the server to display statistics.

2. You must enable syslog to log statistics from remote machines.

  • Edit the /etc/sysconfig/syslog file, add -r to the SYSLOGD_OPTIONS

setting, SYSLOGD_options=”-r -m 0”

  • Stop the syslog daemon. Type /etc/init.d/syslog stop
  • Start the syslog daemon. Type /etc/init.d/syslog start

Note: On DEBIAN AND UBUNTU, step 2 is as follows

  • Edit the /etc/default/syslogd file, add -r to the SYSLOGD_OPTIONS

setting, SYSLOGD_options=”-r -m 0”

  • Stop the syslog daemon. Type /etc/init.d/sysklogd stop
  • Start the syslog daemon. Type /etc/init.d/sysklogd start


Optional Configurations

You can configure the following options:

Scanning Attachments in Outgoing Mail

You can enable real-time scanning of attachments in outgoing emails sent using the Zimbra Web Client. If enabled, when an attachment is added to an email, it is scanned using ClamAV prior to sending the message. If ClamAV detects a virus, it will block attaching the file to the message. By default, scanning is configured for a single node installation.

To enable using a single node:

zmprov mcf zimbraAttachmentsScanURL clam://localhost:3310/ zmprov mcf zimbraAttachmentsScanEnabled TRUE

Provisioning Accounts

Once the mailbox server is running, open your browser, enter the administration console URL and log on to the console to provision email accounts. The administration console URL is entered as:

https://[mailhost.example.com]:7071

Note: To go to the administration console, you must type https, even if you configured the Web server mode as HTTP.

The first time you log on, a warning may be displayed stating the connection is untrusted. This only applies the first time you log in. Click I understand the Risks to be able to connect to the Zimbra administration console. Then click OK.

Enter the admin user name and password configured during the installation process. Enter the name as admin@mailhost.example.com.

Activate the Zimbra Collaboration license (Network Edition Only)

After you log on, a dialog displays stating your license is not activated. Go to Global Settings>License and click Activate License on the toolbar. Click OK to continue.

Provision accounts

You can configure one account at a time with the New Account Wizard or you can create many accounts at once using the Account Migration Wizard.

Configuring One Account

The administration console New Account wizard steps you through the account information to be completed.

1. From the administration console Home page’s Content pane, go to Add Accounts. Note: Four accounts are listed: admin account, two spam training accounts, and a global Documents account. These accounts do not need any additional configuration.

2. Click Add Account. The first page of the New Account wizard opens.

3. Enter the account name to be used as the email address and the last name. This the only required information to create an account.

4. You can click Finish at this point, and the account is configured with the default COS and global features.

To configure aliases, forwarding addresses, and specific features for this account, proceed through the dialog before you click Finish. When the accounts are provisioned, you can send and receive emails.

Importing Content from User Mailboxes

Zimbra developed different applications to facilitate moving a user’s email messages, calendars, and contacts from their old email servers to their accounts on the Zimbra server. When the user’s files are imported, the folder hierarchy is maintained. Use one of the Zimbra Collaboration utilities to move user mail to Zimbra Collaboration to guarantee that all information is imported correctly.

The following applications can be accessed from the administration console Download page, and instruction guides are available from the Help Desk page or from the Zimbra Website, Documentation page.

Alternatively, you can download the following applications from http://{example.com/downloads}/index.html (with “example” being your Zimbra server name).

  • Zimbra Collaboration Migration Wizard for Exchange. Format is an .exe file. You can migrate users from Microsoft® Exchange server email accounts to Zimbra server accounts.
  • Zimbra Collaboration Migration Wizard for Domino. Format is an .exe file. You can migrate users from Lotus Domino server email accounts to Zimbra server accounts.
  • PST Import Wizard (User Instructions). Format is an .exe file. Users download the Import Wizard to their computers and run the executable file to import their Outlook .pst files to the Zimbra server. Before users run this utility, Zimbra recommends that they run the Outlook Inbox Repair tool, scanpst.exe, on their .pst files, to clean up any errors in their file. For more information about this tool, go to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/287497.

Administrators Account

Initial administrative tasks when you log on for the first time may include setting up the admin mailbox to include features, aliases, and forwarding addresses needed for the administrator’s working environment.

Two aliases for the admin account are created during install:

  • Postmaster. The postmaster address is displayed in emails that are automatically generated from Postfix when messages cannot be sent. If users reply to this address, the message is forwarded to the admin mailbox.
  • Root. This address is where notification messages from the operating system are sent.

If you entered a notification address for AV alerts when you configured the MTA, that is different from the default, you need to create that account in the administration console. If you didn’t change the default during installation, the anti-virus notification is sent directly to the admin account.

Uninstalling Zimbra Collaboration

To uninstall servers, run the install script -u, delete the Zimbra Collaboration directory, and remove the zcs.tgz file on the servers.

1. cd to the original install directory for the Zimbra Collaboration files.

2. Type ./install.sh -u

3. When Completely remove existing installation? is displayed, type Yes The Zimbra servers are stopped, the existing packages, the webapp directories, and the /opt/zimbra directory are removed.

4. Type rm -rf [zcsfullfilename] to delete the Zimbra Collaboration directory.

5. Delete the zcs.tgz file.
