Administrator's Guide

Open Source Edition

Managing Global Configurations

Global Settings controls global rules that apply to accounts in the Zimbra servers. The global settings are set during installation, and the settings can be modified from the administration console. A series of tabs make it easy to manage these settings.

Global settings that can be configured include:

Defining the default domain

Setting the number of results returned for GAL searches

Setting how users view email attachments and what type of attachments are not allowed

Configuring authentication process, setting the Relay MTA for external delivery, enabling DNS lookup and protocol checks

Enabling Pop and IMAP and the port numbers

Note:

If IMAP/POP proxy is set up, making sure that the port numbers are configured correctly.

Set the spam check controls and anti-virus options for messages received that may have a virus

Set up free/busy scheduling across a mix of ZCS servers and third party email servers.

Customize themes color scheme and add your logo to the themes

Configure the company name that displays when external guests log on to see a shared Briefcase folder.

Note:

Configurations set in Global Settings define inherited default values for the following objects: server, account, COS, and domain. If these attributes are set in the server, they override the global settings.
