Change recipient address for Daily Mail Report

[jasonboche]

When I first deployed the Zimbra Appliance, I specified an incorrect email address for the administrator account. Once Zimbra was deployed, it was easy to fix that. However, the Daily Mail Report still goes to the original address. I'd like the report to go to the desirable address.

If you know how to change the recipient address for the Daily Mail Report, I'd appreciate the information.

Thank you,
Jas

Hi Jason,

the report is triggered by a cronjob running "/opt/zimbra/libexec/zmdailyreport -m"
Checking this Perl script it shows that my the recipient address is determined through

my $to_address   = getLocalConfig("smtp_destination");

Hence, all you have to do is change it by:

zmlocalconfig -e smtp_destination=recipient@domain.com

Hope that answers your questions and ends your misery.

Where is zmlocalconfig located?

Hi Jason,

Read your tweets and know you are a WMware guy.

Personally, don't know the Zimbra appliance...

In ZCS FOSS:

su - zimbra

then zmlocalconfig ...

Regards!

Thank you for the reply. I'm using the appliance version of which I do not know the root credentials. It ships with one account named 'vmware'. I'm unable to locate or execute zmlocalconfig with that account.

Ahh.. found some help here:
VMware Communities: Zimbra Collaboration Suite

The path is /opt/zimbra/bin/zmlocalconfig

I'll give the following a try:

/opt/zimbra/bin/zmlocalconfig -e smtp_destination=recipient@domain.com

Let's us know...

Clearly I need a privileged account to perform this action. I'm curious if developers read and respond in these forums. Perhaps they might be able to shed some light on the root credentials for the .OVF appliance version.

This forums is driven by community and developers take attention by bugzilla and measuring votes... preferring NE clients.
