Would it be possible to add Zimbra as email server for Virtualmin Pro? Maybe this is not even possible??? Just to start with the question" is it possible" and " what amount of work would be needed" for starters...

Thanks to all who respond

Howdy,

To get Zimbra so that it integrates with Virtualmin as well as Postfix/Dovecot/Saslauthd/procmail, well, that's a lot of work :-)

However, that's not to say you can't use Virtualmin and Zimbra on the same system -- you just can't use Virtualmin to manage Zimbra accounts.

To get them to co-exist on the same box, you can just disable the mail feature of Virtualmin. -Eric

Hello Joe, well, I guess if it were a workable idea, yes, I would ask someone to help for pay. I can install zimbra and VMP on a machine... just getting the two to coincide with benefits... ie... same user created... ???

Just a thought.... put the post wherever you like....

Have a GREAT morning!

Joel

Are you asking because you want to hire someone to help you with Zimbra and Virtualmin, or should I move this to a more appropriate forum? (This is the jobs forum, for folks looking to hire or offer services. Not a general help forum.) ;-)

Zimbra is a invasive program... eg; it acts like Cpanel and installs its own versions of everything so to get it to play with VM in any sense is not a good idea nor do I recommend it.

zimbra is a suite of programs that does a large amount of function and is meant as a standalone application. I use it at my church as a very good free alternative to Exchange.
