If anyone is interested. Here is the /etc/init.d script I use. I know it works on Ubuntu. It /should/ work on Redhat/CentOS too but needs verifying.

One the standby server I disable Zimbra on boot...

Check the ownership and permissions of the .ssh folder. If the private keys, in particular, are not owned by zimbra with 600 perms it will fail.

Also, make sure you are using the latest version of...

The script is now aware of HSM. If use of HSM is detected then mailboxd is kept running on the standby server and sync operations are suspended while the HSM process is active on the standby server.

Oops. New version already. There is an egrep that won't work on RHEL systems that has been fixed in the sync_commands script that resulted in the purge time days not being passed.

I've made some updates for Zimbra 8. Please do not use earlier versions of this script on Zimbra 8 or it will get very stuck trying to sync the ldap directory.

Also for version 8, with regard to...

A minor update added. Use file, live_sync_2.0.1.tar.gz.

Version 2.0.1

1) Preserve mailboxd runing state after sync to allow warmer standby and functioning HSM

2) Don't refuse to start...

The Wiki is not up to date. I would like to update it but it is frozen for maintenance so I have to post updates here instead. I have some minor updates to the above script that I intend to post up...

A weird fault has appeared in the last week or so on one account on a Zimbra installation.

I understand that the Zimbra Wiki is undergoing a clean-up and during this time user editing is disabled.

Does anyone know when it is likely to be opened again for editing? I have a seriously...

I have attached to this post some updates to the scripts on the Live Sync wiki page...
Server Live sync - Zimbra :: Wiki

I can't edit the Wiki page right now since the Wiki is undergoing...

OK. Thanks Bill.

I'll keep an eye on it and update the page when it becomes editable again.

Not sure what forum this post belongs in but it concerns the Zimbra web site wiki.

I logged in to update an article I created some time ago but no "edit" link or button is visible. I assume this...

OK. Solved it.

The answer was on this wiki page.

Part of the filename is based on a message ID in the MySQL database that is a "KEY" value, which basically means it autoincrements each time a...

Quick question.

Are blob filenames allocated sequentially based on what is in the message store directory already or by a counter somewhere?

Background:
I have moved 7.2.0 from an old to a new...

This looks like the relavant bug report.
Bug 59217 – SMTP Milter timeout

OK, now I've had some more time to look at the issue, I've found the occurance in the log files.

I am updaing 6.0.7 to 6.0.9_GA_2686.UBUNTU10_64 UBUNTU10_64 FOSS edition on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.

Everything goes OK until it tries to set the zimbraMTAAuthHost. This is what I see in the...

OK. I fixed it by resetting the log data with the command libexec/zmloggerinit.

It was still showing the partition names from the old server before this. Clearing the log data seemed to bring back...

I just rsynced a working installation from Centos 5.x to Ubuntu 11.04 LTS. I am running Release 6.0.9_GA_2686.UBUNTU10_64 UBUNTU10_64 NETWORK edition.

The procedure was,

An email sent from localhost should only be from a domain hosted there. How do I enforce this?

I've seen instructions on how to restrict the domain for authenticated accounts but localhost does...

For me it was definitely because I had no swap partition. As soon as I connected to the console I could see all the out of memory errors on the screen.

I can report that there have been no crashes...

OK. I will check those things next time it goes wrong. The /opt/zimbra (which contains /opt/zimbra/data/tmp) partition certainly isn't full. There's a good 27G left on it.

Thanks for all your help...

Hi Pheonix,

I am using UFW to enable the required access ports and haven't disabled AppArmor. Yes, this is running on a local RAID-10.

I have just noticed that I hadn't allocated any swap file....
