I've got a really intresting login problem that has me at a stand still.
I can log in via the web, but I can not login via zimbra desktop. It gives me a "Account authentication failed. Please check username and password." error.
I'm using virtual hosts so that apache can still run. I think it has to do with that, and the MtaAuthHost. I currently have it set to the hostname of the system, because apache's virtual host is the hostname...
Howevery, when I go to setup an account in zimbra desktop I try to use both mail.domain.com, and server.domain.com. Neither works.
Anyway, here is my gs, and below that is the zimbra.conf file for apache
