mail going to /var/spool/mail

[preston]

I installed zimbra on Cent OS, disabled sendmail,

I can send out, although I do actually recieve it puts it in /var/spool/mail, which isn't seen by the webgui.

Any ideas most appretiated

Make sure you have the psotfix on your OS stopped.

Pretty sure, I have, I stopped zimbra, telneted to ip on port 25, and didn't get anything.

Then I start zimbra, do the same thing and I get the prompt.

That would mean zimbra is in charge of postfix I would think.

Have you also disabled the firewall and SElinux? When you did a telnet was it in the machine that zimbra is on or from another PC?

this is a little ambiguous. what are you using to send? if it's something local it might be talking straight to /usr/lib/sendmail for instance which might deliver it using another mechanism, for instance on rhel4 this points to sendmail.sendmail delivery which might have a cron process fire up sendmail to clear the queue periodically.

Let me be more specific, I send fine.

New mail comes in, but it puts it in /var/spool/mail

If I stop zimbra and, telnet my.zimbrabox.com 25 I get connection refused,
When I start zimbra and telnet my.zimbrabox.com 25 I get the mailserver

I am pretty sure that no other program is listening to mail,

Ok I think I figured some of it out, if I set up an account on linux the regular way, in /etc/passwd that mail goes into /var/spool/mail/

If the account only exist in zimbra it gets there. Although I still have another issue. I am running 2 mail servers, one is sendmail up and running, the other is zimbra where I will move users over to.

All mail essentially hits my sendmailserver first, mail.mydomain.com, I then put a forward in sendmail to send to zimbra.mydomain.com.

When I set up zimbra, I listed 2 domains, mydomain.com and zimbra.mydomain.com.

How do I make it so that all accounts can accept mail for both domains, but when sending, it looks as though its from just mydomain.com

[anand]

you can set canonical addresses on accounts:

zmprov ma acct@sub.example.com zimbraMailCanonicalAddress acct@example.com

Or you can set catch all canonical addresses on the domain to do them all:

zmprov md sub.example.com zimbraMailCatchAllAddress @sub.example.com zimbraMailCatchAllCanonicalAddress @example.com

I hope I am not being reduntant here but just so I am clear.

My primary Mail Server (sendmail) is mail.mydomain.com
The zimbra box is zimbra.mydomain.com

My default domain in zimbra is mydomain.com

If an email comes in for user@zimbra.mydomain.com everything works, although all my users are set up under the default of mydomain.com. SO I need to change all of those users to the domain of zimbra.mydomain.com

THe line you listed will fix that.

Second question, when they send out an email, it looks like it came from zimbra.mydomain.com can I make it look like mydomain.com?

[preston]

actually let me make this question much easier,

can all my accounts belong to two domains, and how?
