Debian - zimbra stability

[Ahmed Abd-ElHaffiez]

hi;

i have installed succesfully on "Debian sarge 3.1 kernel 2.6.8" using the "Zimbra-Debian (4.0) ". all the zimbra components were running and i made tests by sending and receiving emails..etc

After few days i found that the "mta" is stopped and the postfix is not running.
i couldn't catch the reason for this failure.

few days later the "logger" and the "SNMP" stopped as well.

i found this exeption in the logfile:

did anyone get the same problem for debian installation? or is there something i can do to solve this?

thx in advance.

[jholder]

Do you have another MTA running?

[Ahmed Abd-ElHaffiez]

hi;

thx very much . your hint was very ueful for me.

i ran the command 'telnet localhost 25'
i figured out that the Exim is running on the server.
so i killed it by running'ps aux | grep exim
kill -9 1738'

the zimbra is running smoothly now.

thx again.

[dijichi2]

trouble i found with debian is that it insists on having a known mta instaled for all sorts of dependencies and trying to remove the mta is more trouble than it's worth. you can switch it to debian version of postfix with some trouble but then that actually confuses things even more with zimbra postfix. make sure you use update-rc.d to remove all traces of exim from bootup and edit the root crontab to disable the period kickoff of exim.

[robbyt]

on my debian zimbra machine, i did an rc-delete to exim, and then also renamed the init.d script- just to be sure it doesn't get started up!

Hopefully I understood correct ;-)

Some sort of workaround are
mta-dummy_1.0_all.deb
or maybe also mta-local_1.0_all.deb [equivs package]

Just use google (or other search engine) for more info.

I used mta-dummy_1.0_all.deb for zimbra and qmail

Maybe this helped a little

very interesting, thanks for the tip!!
