Zimbra Collaboration Suite (ZCS) is a collaborative software suite that includes a mail & chat server with a web client. Zimbra is developed and maintained by Synacor. Zimbra is available in two editions one as Zimbra Network Edition (Commercial version) and the other as Zimbra Open Source Edition (Community supported version).
In this tutorial, we are installing Zimbra Mail Server on CentOS 7. To configure a Zimbra mail server, we will install Zimbra Collaboration Suite software and then we will configure Zimbra mail server.
We will install and set up a Zimbra Mail Server on Alibaba Cloud Elastic Compute Service (ECS) with CentOS 7installed.
Zimbra Collaboration Suite (ZCS) is a large software with a lots of features and functionality. We are only covering the installation and initial configuration of Zimbra Collaboration Suite (ZCS). However, For more information you can refer to Zimbra documentation.
We have configured a CentOS 7 virtual machine with following specifications.
Connect with webmail.example.com using ssh as root user.
Before configuring a private mail server, it is mandatory to have an Authoritative DNS Server. This DNS server is required to answer MX (Mail Exchange) queries, so the emails should be redirected to our Zimbra mail server.
If you have a DNS Server then you can add MX and A record of webmail.example.com therein.
To verify that we have configured our DNS settings for our Zimbra mail server correctly, we can use dig command.
[root@webmail ~]# dig -t MX example.com
; <<>> DiG 9.9.4-RedHat-9.9.4-74.el7_6.2 <<>> -t MX example.com

Besides DNS settings, we are required to include it in our local DNS resolver.
[root@webmail ~]# echo "192.168.116.6 webmail.example.com webmail" >> /etc/hostsBy default CentOS 7 installs Postfix as MTA (Mail Transfer Agent). We need to disable it before moving on to Zimbra Collaboartion Suite (ZCS) installation.
Stop and disable postfix.service.
[root@webmail ~]# systemctl stop postfix.service
[root@webmail ~]# systemctl disable postfix.service
Removed symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/postfix.service.
