 Correct installation on Debian Etch?
I'm posting this, because I'm going to start Zimbra for production use soon, and I would hate to miss out on something important.
I've got Zimbra 4.5.5 up and running on Debian Etch 32bit doing almost excactly what you have done.
install the necessary packages
sudo curl fetchmail libgmp3c2 libssl0.9.7 libdb3 libxml2 perl libexpat1 libpcre3 file
It seems that
libio-socket-ssl-perl
libmail-imapclient-perl
libmail-pop3client-perl
and a few others, spell modules for example are also necessary
edit /etc/debian_version to 3.1 from 4.0
edit /utils/utilfunc.sh and change script to look for libgmp3c2 not libgmp3
But, I found it necessary to set up the following soft links in /usr/lib
libcrypto.so.0.9.7 -> libcrypto.so.0.9.8
libssl.so.0.9.7 -> libssl.so.0.9.8
With that and some dns-tweaking everything seems to run just fine.
I have some questions for the Zimbra guys though.
Firstly, is this installation method likely to cause major problems, when upgrading zimbra some day?
Secondly, it looks as if there are some files in /opt/zimbra with wrong usernames. I guess the are created when sudo'ing to the zimbra-user, for example to restart tomcat.
Is this a bug? Changing ownership to zimbra manually seems to be ok.

Thirdly, in the log, the amavis-process doesn't load some stuff, se below.
Is this important, or should something be done about it?

Fourthly, I guess that the following server-start log-stuff is just normal, as everything seems completely stable, once the server is running

Finally, I must say, that I'm really impressed with this product.
We've been running qmail with different frontends for some years. The server part is great, but it has been impossible to find a modern web-interface that is satisfactory for modern use.
The Zimbra client is a little slow to load but otherwise FANTASTIC in every aspect. If I'm successful with this, well definitely consider upgrading to one of the payment versions.
