Introduction
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. As part of the installation process, Zimbra Collaboration
bundles and installs various other third party and open source
software, including Eclipse Jetty,
Postfix, and OpenLDAP®. The
versions installed have been tested and configured to work with Zimbra
software. See the Zimbra Collaboration Administrator Guide for a complete
list of software.
A Zimbra license is required in order to create accounts on
servers running Zimbra Collaboration Network Edition.
You cannot install Zimbra Collaboration Network Edition without a license.
The following table shows the default port settings when Zimbra Collaboration is installed.

Important: You cannot have any other web server, database, LDAP,
or MTA server running, when you install Zimbra Collaboration. If you have
installed any of those applications before you install Zimbra
software, disable them. During Zimbra Collaboration installation,
Zimbra makes global system changes that may break
applications that are on your server.
Preparing Your Server Environment
In order to successfully install and run Zimbra Collaboration, ensure
your system meets the requirements described in this section. System
administrators should be familiar with installing and managing email
systems.
Do not manually create the user zimbra before running the ZCS installation. The installation automatically creates this user and sets up its environment. |
System Requirements
For the Zimbra Collaboration system requirements see
System Requirements for Zimbra Collaboration at the end of
this guide.
Modifying Operating System Configurations
Zimbra Collaboration runs on one of several operating systems, including
Ubuntu® LTS, Red Hat® Enterprise Linux, and SUSE® Linux Enterprise.
A full default installation of the Linux distribution that you select is
required.
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 LibreOffice is installed, the system is automatically configured
to use 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 appropriate Linux distribution’s
package management systems:
-
For RHEL, install the libreoffice-headless package:
yum install libreoffice yum install libreoffice-headless
-
For SLES, install 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:
yum install libreoffice-langpack-xx
DNS Configuration Requirement
When you create a domain during the installation process, Zimbra Collaboration checks
to see if you have an MX record correctly configured for that domain.
If it is not, an error is displayed suggesting that the domain name have
an MX record configured in DNS.
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 administration console‘s
Global Settings>MTA tab and:
-
Uncheck Enable DNS lookups.
-
Enter the relay MTA address to use for external delivery.
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 the 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 Collaboration application 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 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 any other servers. You can set up LDAP replication, configuring a master LDAP server and
replica LDAP servers. -
Zimbra Store: This package 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 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 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 Zimbra Collaboration services usingnginx
. 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 required as of
ZCS 8.7. -
Zimbra Memcached: This package is automatically selected when the
Zimbra-Proxy package is installed and provides access toMemcached
.At least one server must run zimbra-memcached when the Zimbra Proxy
service is in use.You can use a single memcached server with one or more Zimbra proxies.
-
Zimbra SNMP: Installing this package is optional.
If you choose to install Zimbra-SNMP for monitoring, this package
should be installed on every Zimbra server. -
Zimbra Logger: Installing this package is optional. It
is installed on one mailbox server. It provides tools forsyslog
aggregation and reporting.-
If you do not install Zimbra Logger, the server statistics section of
the administration console will not display. -
The Zimbra Logger package must be installed at the same time as the
Zimbra Store package.
-
-
Zimbra Spell: This package is optional. It provides the open source
spell checkerAspell
used by the Zimbra Web Client. -
Zimbra Apache: This package is installed automatically when Zimbra
Spell
or Zimbra Convertd
is installed. -
Zimbra Convertd: This package should be installed on at least one
Zimbra-Store server. Only one Zimbra-Convertd package needs to be
present in the Zimbra Collaboration environment. The default is to install one
Zimbra-Convertd on each Zimbra-Store server. -
Zimbra Archiving: The Zimbra Archiving and Discovery feature is an
optional feature for Zimbra Collaboration Network Edition.
Archiving and Discovery offers the ability to store and search all messages

Final Set-Up (required)
After the Zimbra Collaboration servers are configured, the following functions
must be configured.
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 zimbra-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.
Access to the ‘zimbra’ user
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
sudo -u zimbra -i # if not already logged in as the zimbra user
zmupdateauthkeys
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.
Note, your system may use a different provider for the syslog service. See the Wiki article Configuring Logger Host for more information |
-
As root, type the following command to enable the server to display
statistics —/opt/zimbra/libexec/zmsyslogsetup
-
You must enable syslog to log statistics from remote machines.
- RedHat Systems
-
-
Edit the
/etc/sysconfig/syslog

Final Set-Up (optional)
Ephemeral Data Migration
Versions of Zimbra prior to 8.8.0 stored
ephemeral data in LDAP. Examples of ephemeral data include:
-
zimbraAuthTokens
-
zimbraCsrfTokenData
-
zimbraLastLogonTimestamp
Zimbra Collaboration version 8.8.0 introduced the ability to
store ephemeral data in an external service such as
SSDB. This is an optional feature; however, it
can improve LDAP performance and stability.
Please refer to the Zimbra Collaboration Administration Guide for more information.
Migration of ephemeral data out of LDAP and into SSDB must be
performed after an install or upgrade has been completed.
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
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)
- Admin Console:
-
After you log on, a dialog displays stating your license is not
activated.
Go to:
Home > Configure > Global Settings > License
click Activate License
on the toolbar then 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
- Admin Console:
-
The administration console New Account wizard steps you through the
account information to be completed.-
From the administration console Home page’s Content pane, go to
Add Accounts
.Four accounts will already be listed — the admin account, two spam
training accounts, and a global Documents account. These accounts do not
need any additional configuration. -
Click
Add Account
. The first page of the New Account wizard opens. -
Enter the account name to be used as the email address and the last
name. This is the only required information to create an account. -
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.
-
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.
Administrator 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.
-
cd to the original install directory for the Zimbra Collaboration files.

Zimbra Network NG Modules: First Steps
This guides contains all information needed in order to switch to the new Zimbra Network NG modules from their legacy counterparts after upgrading to Zimbra 8.8.
Switching to Backup NG
Switching to the new Backup NG is a simple process that will initialize the
new backup system on a dedicated path.
Until the initialization is completed, the old backup engine will be active.
Old backup files will not be removed and the old backup and restore tools are
still available via the usual CLI commands.
Backup Path Limitations
In order to hold Backup NG data, a storage must comply to the following:
-
The storage must have a mountpoint on the system.
-
The «zimbra» user must of course have r/w permission on the path.
-
-
The data must be stored on a case-sensitive filesystem.
Other than this, there are no hard limitations.
Backup NG Initialization
Before initializing the Backup NG module, make sure you have enough space on
the storage you wish to store the backup in. The average size of the backup is
50-70% of the nominal total quota of all mailboxes.
To initialize the Backup NG module:
-
Access the Zimbra Administration Console.
-
Enter the «Network Modules NG» section on the left menu.
-
Enter the «Backup» section.
-
Set the «Backup Path» to whatever directory you wish to store your backup into.
-
Click on the «Initialize» button
Switching to Mobile NG
Switching to the new Mobile NG is a simple process that will activate the new
mobile handlers, deactivate the old ones and switch the synchronization control
over to Mobile NG from the legacy Zimbra Mobile.
Until the initialization is completed, the old mobile engine will be active.
What happens after the switch
After switching to Mobile NG, all existing syncstates will be invalidated,
and all connected devices will automatically re-synchronize all of their data
through the new engine.
Since the switch will force all connected devices to re-synchonize all of their data, make sure to alert your users beforehand to make sure that they have wifi coverage or enough traffic on their mobile data plans. |
The switch is completely transparent to end users, and no user interaction
will be prompted or required.
Mobile NG Initialization
To initialize the Mobile NG module:
-
Access the Zimbra Administration Console.
-
Enter the «Network Modules NG» section on the left menu.
-
Enter the «Mobile» section.
-
Click on the «Activate» button.
Switching to HSM NG
The HSM NG module will become active as soon as the upgrade to Zimbra 8.8 is
completed, and does not require any interaction.
Any old HSM policy, volume and volume configuration will be maintained.
Switching to Admin NG
Switching to the new Admin NG module is a simple process that will migrate any
relevant ACL information to the module’s own configuration manager, clearing
existing ACLs and ACEs from the system.
The Admin NG module is significantly different than the old Delegated Administration engine.
Please make sure to read the product’s documentation and to only migrate to Admin NG if its feature set
meets your needs.
Admin Migration is a one way only process. Once Admin NG is initialized it’s not possible to go back to the old engine, so if you have customized or complex ACLs/ACEs consider whether switching or not carefully. |
Admin NG Initialization
To initialize the Admin NG module:
-
Access the Zimbra Administration Console.
-
Enter the «Network Modules NG» section on the left menu.
-
Enter the «Admin» section.
-
Click on the «Migrate» button.

Zimbra — открытый программный продукт для автоматизации и упрощения совместной деятельности любых рабочих групп в масштабах государственного или частного бизнеса. Сейчас Zimbra применяется в более чем 5000 компаниях, включая такие мировые бренды, как NTT Communications, Comcast, Dell, Cadbury, Investec, Rackspace, Red Hat, VMware, H&R Block и Vodafone. Всего больше 100 миллионов конечных пользователей в более чем 140 странах мира. Zimbra — третий по размеру провайдер средств коллективной работы в мире с активным сообществом разработчиков и мировой партнёрской сетью.
Zimbra состоит из двух платформ:
- Zimbra Collaboration Suite — почтовый сервер, органайзер и персонализация пользователя. Это решение корпоративного класса для совместной работы с электронной почтой, календарем и офисными инструментами.
- Zimbra Community — корпоративная социальная сеть, виртуальное пространство для обмена файлами и сообщениями между сотрудниками.
Zimbra Collaboration Suite
Для крупных компаний наибольший интерес представляет масштабируемый и многофункциональный пакет приложений Zimbra Collaboration Suite. Это решение объединяет в себе корпоративное облако с возможностями электронной почты и системы управления проектами.
Базовые возможности Zimbra Collaboration Suite:
- Доставка, хранение и отправление электронной почты.
- Индексация почты.
- Логирование почтового сервера.
- Поддержка протоколов IMAP, POP, CalDAV и CarDAV.
- Служба каталогов.
- Антиспам защита (Spam Assassin).
- Антивирусная защита (ClamAV).
- Синхронизация с мобильными платформами: Android, iOS, Windows.
Zimbra Collaboration Suite представляется в двух основных редакциях.
- Zimbra Open Source Edition — полностью свободная и бесплатная версия Zimbra, содержащая весь основной функционал.
- Zimbra Network Edition — платная версия Zimbra, отличающаяся возможностью доменного администрирования, наличием коннектора для Microsoft Outlook и другими функциями.
В состав Zimbra Collaboration Suite входит клиентское и серверное программное обеспечение, а также следующие пакеты прикладных программ.
Zimbra Core — включает библиотеки, утилиты и базовые конфигурационные файлы.
Zimbra Store (Zimbra сервер) — устанавливает компоненты для почтового сервера, включая Jetty, который является контейнером сервлетов, запускающим внутри себя программное обеспечение Zimbra. В Zimbra Collaboration Suite этот контейнер сервлетов называется mailboxd. Почтовый сервер включает в себя компоненты:
- Data store — база данных MySQL, которая содержит все метаданные сообщений включая теги, переговоры, и указатели туда, где сообщения хранятся в файловой системе. Почтовые идентификаторы связываются с OpenLDAP учетными записям пользователей.
- Message store — место, где находятся все электронные письма, включая тексты сообщений и любые файловые вложения. Сообщения хранятся в формате MIME.
- Index store — индексные файлы для каждого почтового ящика. Индекс и поисковая технология обеспечиваются посредством Apache Lucene. Каждое сообщение автоматически индексируется, а каждый почтовый ящик имеет индексный файл связанный с ним.
Zimbra LDAP — Службы каталогов LDAP обеспечивают централизованный репозитарий для информации о пользователях и устройствах, которые разрешены использовать в вашей сети. Центральный репозитарий, используемый для данных Zimbra LDAP, является сервером каталогов OpenLDAP. Zimbra Collaboration Suite использует OpenLDAP в качестве open source сервера каталога LDAP. Аутентификация пользователей обеспечивается посредством OpenLDAP. Каждый аккаунт на сервере Zimbra имеет уникальный идентификатор почтового ящика, который является основной точкой идентификации аккаунта.
Примечание: Zimbra также поддерживает интеграцию с Сервером Microsoft Active Directory.
Zimbra MTA — Postfix-open source агент передачи почты (MTA), который получает почту по протоколу SMTP и доставляет каждое сообщение в нужный почтовый ящик Zimbra сервера с помощью протокола локальной доставки сообщений (LMTP). Zimbra MTA также включает в себя антивирусный и антиспам-компоненты.
Zimbra-SNMP — Zimbra использует образец, чтобы наблюдать вывод syslog, чтобы генерировать прерывания SNMP.
Zimbra Logger — устанавливает инструменты для syslog агрегации, создания отчетов. Если вы не установите Logger, раздел статистики сервера консоли администрирования не будет отображаться.
Zimbra Spell — Aspell — программа проверки правописания с открытым исходным кодом, используемая веб-клиентом Zimbra.
Zimbra Proxy и Zimbra Memcached — пакеты zimbra-прокси.
Zimbra System Directory Tree — основные каталоги, создаваемые пакетами установки Zimbra.
Zimbra Desktop — клиентское почтовое приложение, которое можно использовать как почтовый клиент к любому серверу (postfix, exchange, lotus). Zimbra Web Access дает все те же возможности, что и Zimbra Desktop, но работает через браузер.
Возможности веб-клиентов Zimbra:
- Создание, чтение, ответ, пересылка и другие стандартные функции,
- Просмотр почты по теме разговора.
- Тегирование почты для легкой группировки сообщений.
- Расширенный поиск и сохранение результатов.
- Календарь для планирования встреч.
- Общий календарь, папки электронной почты, адресные книги и портфель папок.
- Установка предпочтений почтового ящика, в том числе определяющих параметры фильтрации почты
- Использование ZCS Documents для создания, организации и шаринга веб-документов
- Использование задач для создания списков дел и управления задачами
Администрирование Zimbra
Zimbra представляет очень гибкий функционал для администрирования и развертывания. Архитектура программного продукта включает в себя open source разработки, использующие стандартные протоколы.

01
УНИКАЛЬНАЯ ЛОГИКА РАБОТЫ С ПОЧТОЙ
Если для компании важна уникальная переадресация, дублирование и иные манипуляции с почтой, их можно настроить, вплоть до того, что почта отдельных сотрудников будет приходить руководителю компании.
02
УСТАНОВКА ОТДЕЛЬНЫХ ПЛАГИНОВ
Некоторые доработки в Zimbra можно производить без использования программирования. Существуют различные плагины, которые способны изменить работу с Zimbra в лучшую сторону.
03
ГИБКАЯ НАСТРОЙКА
Частично исходный код Zimbra является открытым, это позволяет подстроить часть алгоритмов более гибко, «дописав» их вручную.
04
ШИФРОВАНИЕ ПОЧТОВОЙ КОРРЕСПОНДЕНЦИИ
Zimbra позволяет шифровать отправленные письма. Даже если злоумышленники перехватят отправленное, они не смогут его открыть и прочесть.
05
УСТАНОВКА МЕТОК ДЛЯ МЕНЕДЖЕРОВ
Каждый менеджер может ставить метки на письмах, которые помогут понять, кто из сотрудников взял на себя ту или иную задачу.
06
КОНТРОЛЬ СОТРУДНИКОВ
Вы сможете самостоятельно «доставать корреспонденцию» из ящиков сотрудников, настроить автоматическое дублирование на вашу почту или сделать так, чтобы работники не могли удалять письма.
07
БЕЗОПАСНОСТЬ
Почта не уходит третьим лицам, а соответственно информация не будет «уплывать» конкурентам и спецслужбам. Не будет рычагов давления на вас, ваших поставщиков и сотрудников.
08
ХОРОШАЯ АНТИСПАМ-ЗАЩИТА
Zimbra умеет отлично «фильтровать» почту. Рекламные письма будут автоматически перемещаться во вкладку «Спам» и не отвлекут от работы.
09
WEB-ИНТЕРФЕЙС
Zimbra имеет понятный Web-интерфейс, который не уступает аналогичным корпоративным решениям.
