Zimbra fails to send mail.

[mlcdigital]

This is more of a how-to then a question.
This is an excellent step-by-step procedure for installing the open source version of Zimbra but there is a missing step or at least I found a bug.

Zimbra Collaboration Suite (ZCS) Open Source Edition v5.0 On Debian Etch | HowtoForge - Linux Howtos and Tutorials

Once you complete the how-to you'll test sending mail.
If you see errors in /var/log/zimbra.log like this

FAILED: Unix utility file(1) not available

you'll need to do the following

apt-get install file

vi /opt/zimbra/.bashrc

Find PATH and add /usr/share/file so it should look like this

PATH=/usr/share/file:/opt/zimbra/bin:/opt/zimbra/zimbramon:/opt/zimbra/postfix/sbin:/opt/zimbra/openldap/bin:/opt/zimbra/snmp/bin:/opt/zimbra/sleepycat/bin:/opt/zimbra/openssl/bin:${JAVA_HOME}/bin:${PATH}

I don't know if you have to do this but I did.

su - zimbra
zmcontrol stop
zmcontrol start

Mail started moving after I added that.

This last post gave a good summary and let me fix my issue.

Cheers.

CentOS 6 by minimal iso doesn't have file package installed, too, sadly
so

yum -y install file
