I have searched through all of the forums and tried several of the reponses, but I am still having a problem with the mta not starting after a successful install similar to what has been posted. The server staus through the web admin and zmcontrol status show the same thing that the mta service is not started.

[zimbra@zimbra ~]$ zmcontrol status
Host zimbra.twu.ca
antispam Running
antivirus Running
ldap Running
logger Running
mailbox Running
mta Stopped
snmp Running
spell Running

The output from "sh -x /opt/zimbra/bin/zmmtactl status" shows:

[zimbra@zimbra ~]$ sh -x /opt/zimbra/bin/zmmtactl status
+ BASE=/opt/zimbra
+ SCRIPTS='zmmtaconfigctl zmamavisdctl postfix zmsaslauthdctl'
+ case "$1" in
+ STATUS=0
+ for i in '$SCRIPTS'
+ /opt/zimbra/bin/zmmtaconfigctl status
+ R=0
+ '[' 0 -ne 0 ']'
+ for i in '$SCRIPTS'
+ /opt/zimbra/bin/zmamavisdctl status
+ R=0
+ '[' 0 -ne 0 ']'
+ for i in '$SCRIPTS'
+ /opt/zimbra/bin/postfix status
+ R=1
+ '[' 1 -ne 0 ']'
+ STATUS=1
+ for i in '$SCRIPTS'
+ /opt/zimbra/bin/zmsaslauthdctl status
+ R=0
+ '[' 0 -ne 0 ']'
+ exit 1

and the zimbra.log file does indicate the following error during the mta startup process:

Nov 24 14:09:13 zimbra postfix/postfix-script: warning: not owned by root: /opt/
zimbra/postfix-2.2.3/conf/main.cf

I had disabled sendmail which was running with the bare RHEL 4 install using chkconfig sendmail off and then restarted zimbra.

As I said though, it is sneding and receiving email and "telnet zimbra.twu.ca 25" does respond with a "220 zimbra.twu.ca ESMTP Postfix".

Anybody have any ideas?
