Hi,

Thanks. I got it working with lmtpinject as I do bulk provisioning first.

I am new to zimbra. Can you explan how we can generate welcome mail to new user.

Welcome to the forums

If you were to write a script to call zmprov then you could also send that user a email from the same script.

You can also have the welcome mail stored in a file (using RFC 822 format) and have it added to the users mailbox in the same script you do the zmprov calls to create the account.

Something like:

zmmailbox -z -m newuser@example.com addMessage /Inbox message_file.txt

this will return the message id in the user's mailbox so you can do other things with it, like set it as unread with

zmmailbox -z -m newuser@example.com markMessageRead MESSAGE_NUMBER 0

0 for unread, 1 for read.

((Note: I tried using the -F option with Unread in addMessage, but it didn't work on my test server, perhaps you'll get a different result.))

[odeleon]

did you use the actual number returned by zmmailbox or the words "MESSAGE_NUMBER" ?

[trames7]

Yes odeleon, I tried with the same message number.

how to set the welcome mail format (such as html,test)?
and how to set the charset?
