There is Bug 17715 - Allow reading of/posting to newsgroups (NNTP/Usenet) if you'd like to vote for it.

I think it would be a great addition to Zimbra. I have voted. Thanks.

Instead of having creating a new account and passing it along to Zimbra, can we make Joomla authentic against Zimbra and still do this? We are in the process of looking at recreating our website using Joomla and might want to look at this. I just don't want anybody coming up and creating their own accounts and getting access.

Yep, Joomla can authenticate via the ldap server in Zimbra.

You've pretty much described what I wanted as well, but I'm not hardcore enough to work my way through the changes that Zimbra makes to my system (OpenSuSE 10.3) to add Joomla - as that is "public" I guess it could handle http requests only. I've got Zimbra on https exclusively, and the OpenSuSE firewall fixes the Zimbra deficiency that you can't prevent unencrypted IMAP and POP3.

On the topic of security, I installed denyhosts to protect the SSH port from dictionary scans, but I'll replace that soon with fail2ban because the attempts now seem to focus on SMTP relaying.

The Zimbra management port (7071) is also not open on the firewall, I reach that with a PuTTY tunnel when I log in with SSH ..

Now all I have to do (cough) is to find how I convince Zimbra to use another port for SSH. 22 is a prime scanning target but as soon as I move it Zimbra dies on me. I guess it's back to reading the forum
