February 27 Zimbra Mail Server InstallationRecently, I am trying to study a new enterprise email server for my company. To save money, I tend to find an open source system. There are 3 popular choices, here is the comments to them.
Scalix - not supports unicode.
OpenXchange - not provide wizards installation and web console in the free license version
As of above concerns, I selected Zimbra (www.zimbra.com).
The open source version already provides rich email functions. I am not going to list here. The information can be found on their websites.
I have tried installed it on FC3 and FC4. It is quite stable and the installation is very smooth. You may just spend ten somethings minutes to install it.
Some tips on the system installation:-
1, After a clean OS installation, remove the hostname, which created when installing the OS, from the 127.0.0.1 entry of /etc/hosts and add another entry for the mail domain.
2, install fetchmail and libstdc by execute
3, Download the Open Source Version of Zimbra from their website. Extract it into the OS, for example /tmp
4, cd /tmp/zcs and execute ./install.sh
5, They are just some "y" and information provided aftewards. You will be asked to input domain name. Just input the mail domain as of input at the /etc/hosts. In this example, that is "abc.com"
6, Then another few steps for "y".
7. Congratulation, you got it. It's too easy.
8. Open http://IP:7071 and login with the admin account
9. Enjoy. TrackbacksThe trackback URL for this entry is: http://tscck.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!1E1A000563550990!112.trak Weblogs that reference this entry
