Zimbra as Edge for exchange

[alrozand]

Hi,

I would like to know how to setup zimbra to use it as an edge server to use its spam and antivirus solution. Here is how i would to use zimbra :

internet--zimbra--internal.mail.server

So i would like zimbra to accept all mails coming from the internet to mydomain.com, does the av/spam test, and then send it to my internal mail server.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

su - zimbra
zmprov md yourdomain zimbraMailCatchAllAddress @yourdomain
zmprov md yourdomain zimbraMailCatchAllForwardingAddress @yourdomain
zmprov md yourdomain zimbraMailTransport smtp:exchange.yourdomain

Note that you don't need to create each user on Zimbra, simply installing Zimbra, applying AS/AV improvement and then run the above command to make Zimbra as front-end/AS-AV for Exchange. Don't forget to set your public MX records highest priority to Zimbra machine.

If all you want to use Zimbra for is antispam/virus, you should use something like mailscanner or ASSP. They use the same technologies, but are lightweight (compared to Zimbra) and specifically designed to deal with mailscanning

Thanks Vavai :

So the first command will catch all mail for my domain @domain.com and the third one will transfert all mails for @domain.com to my internal mail server right?
But i don't get the second command ^^

Thanks for your quick responve

@Krishopper : i have the zimbra server so instead of leaving it on the side i woudl rather use it. but for the futur i'll investigate the ones you gave

The first one is catch-all email to your domain address, the second one is forward all email instead of deliver/seek for local account, the third command is forward all email (from the second process) to the destination mail server (on your case : Exchange)
