How To Install Zimbra Collaboration Suite (ZCS) On Ubuntu

Image
Zimbra combines email, calendar and address book tools in an integrated system . For the Web Client, this is all found at one address and under one login. Based on Postfix MTA, includes AJAX based web mail and calendering, antispan, search, backup, archiving, .... Built on top of Tomcat, MySQL, JAVA, Apache, Lucene, ClamAV, SpamAssassin, OpenLDAP and of course Postfix technologies. It rocks. I will use the hostname mail.rahlabs.com in this tutorial together with the IP address 192.168.0.110 . Adjust this to your needs, but make sure that mail.rahlabs.com has a valid MX record in DNS ( Zimbra needs this! ). I assume you want to create email accounts for rahlabs .com instead of mail.rahlabs.com , so you should have an MX record for rahlabs.com as well. In this example the Zimbra server is in a local network ( 192.168.0.110 is a private IP address) behind a router, so make sure you use the router's public IP address ( 1.2.3.4 in this example) in the DNS rec...
