If I disable it I won't get any system messages.. Apache and Tomcat can't be disabled, becuase if I do all my exisiting websites won't work.. My email server shouldn't have to make me get rid of all this.. You know what I mean???

Well, I'd be amazed if you didn't find anything about the questions you've posted.

You need to disable sendmail to use Zimbra because Zimbra is a mailserver and runs on port 25, if you have an external MX pointing at your system then you can only run one service on that port.

The questions about Tomcat and Apache have been answered many times in the forums and, as marcmac has said, you can change the ports of Zimbra at install.

Your question 5 about problems booting with Zimbra set to autostart are probably because of a port conflict with sendmail. You don't actually need sendmail for CentOS, I use CentOS 4.3 with Zimbra installed and there's no problem receiving system messages in Zimbra.

You don't start Zimbra manually in the method you've described you 'su zimbra' then 'zmcontrol start or stop or status' - all of which has been mentioned in the forums and documentation. Have you read the Zimbra quick start guide? Is your hosts file set-up correctly? Does your system have a DNS server (BIND) running, has this been setup correctly?
