Zimbra MTA Server Configuration Options

Zimbra MTA server configuration involves installation of the Zimbra-MTA package. This also includes anti-virus and anti-spam components.

The following table describes the MTA server menu options:

MTA Server Configuration Options

Zimbra MTA Server

zimbra-mta

The following options can be modified. • MTA Auth host. This is configured automatically if the MTA authentication server host is on the same server, but must be configured if the authentication server is not on the MTA. The MTA Auth host must be one of the mailbox servers. • Enable Spamassassin. Default is enabled. • Enable ClamAV. Default is enabled. • Notification address for AV alerts. Sets the notification address for AV alerts. You can either accept the default or create a new address. If you create a new address, remember to provision this address from the admin console. Note: If the virus notification address does not exist and your host name is the same as the domain name on the Zimbra server, the virus notifications queue in the Zimbra MTA server and cannot be delivered. • Bind password for postfix LDAP user. This password must be the same as the postfix password configured on the master LDAP server. • Bind password for amavis LDAP user. This password must be the same as the amavis password configured on the master LDAP server.

Note:

New installs of ZCS limit spam/ham training to the first MTA installed. If you uninstall or move this MTA, you will need to enable spam/ham training on another MTA, as one host should have this enabled to run zmtrainsa --cleanup. To do this set zmlocalconfig -e zmtrainsa_cleanup_host=TRUE.
