Zimbra as Edge MTA?

[DeuX]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to setup multiple MTA email servers using Zimbra. Does anyone know any good tutorial on how to setup Zimbra as Edge MTA ? This Edge MTA will do initial AV and spam scanning before sending it to other Zimbra MTA depending on the domain.

If there isn't any tutorial around, anyone know how I can achieve this using Zimbra?

I think Zimbra is far superior compares to other web client very responsive and beautiful and I like it so far

just install the MTA on the edge box (iow: choose not to install the other services on the edge box). install.sh asks you what services you want to install.

We don't have the option to turn on/off anti-spam and anti-virus on a per domain basis - it is globally on or off. You could work around this by setting amavisVirus/SpamLover on the accounts where you do not want to filter. Look at amavisd.schema. We mix the amavis objectclass into zimbraAccount so you can change the amavis attrs with zmprov.

I did installed MTA in the edge box and did the following:
zmprov ma test@account.com zimbraMailTransport smtp:mail.account.com

The problem is, the Edge MTA seems to skip scanning test@account.com. mail.account.com scan the email for spam and virus though. I would like the Edge MTA to do the scanning as well to be useful. Is there anyway I can achieve this using Zimbra ?

The spam and anti-virus is installed by default, why do you think it's not scanning your email?

My mistake. I guess I must have disabled the virus checking earlier. Reinstalling zimbra at edge mta seems to cure it Thanks phoenix

zmprov ma test@account.com zimbraMailTransport smtp:mail.account.com

This seems to be that I have to create all accounts and transfer individual Accounts. Can't I forward the whole domain.
