Limiting the number of Recipients Print E-mail
Written by Administrator   
Wednesday, 03 September 2008 15:45

The Zimbra default is that any e-mail can have upto 1,000 recipients (total of TO/CC/BCC). I think this is a bit on the high side and can allow some spammer to highjack your mail server to do his devil's work (it happened to me). You can logon to a command line environment (Telnet, SSH etc.) and issue the following commands to set a lower limit. If the happy spammer then tries to add more than your limit to an e-mail and hit send, he will get an error saying he has too many recipients.

su - zimbra
postconf -e 'smtpd_recipient_limit = n'
zmcontrol stop
zmcontrol start

(n = the number of recipients.)

Using Zimbra LDAP for Joomla authentication Print E-mail
Written by Administrator

Here's what you need to do to get Joomla to authenticate via Zimbra LDAP.
I assume Zimbra is enabled for ldap on port 389.
First method, involving the use of a Joomla account and a Zimbra account.

1) Create a Joomla account eg. with name myusername
2) Create a Zimbra account with the same name
3) Configure the Jooma ldap authentication plugin;
Enabled - Yes
Host - the FQDN for your Zimbra server
Port - 389
LDAP V3 - Yes
Negotiate TLS - No
Do not follow referrals - No
Authorization Method - Bind Directly as User
Base DN - dc=servername,dc=com (or what ever you use)
Search String - leave blank
Users DN - uid=[username],ou=people,dc=servername,dc=com (or what ever you use)
Connect username - leave blank
Connect password - leave blank
Map: Full Name - fullName
Map: E-mail
Map: User ID - uid
4) Make certain that the Joomla and Zimbra accounts have different passwords, then you know which authentication you have used.
Second method, involving the use of a Zimbra account only.

1) Create a Zimbra account with the same name
2) Configure the Jooma ldap authentication plugin;
Enabled - Yes
Host - the FQDN for your Zimbra server
Port - 389
LDAP V3 - Yes
Negotiate TLS - No
Do not follow referrals - No
Authorization Method - Bind and Search
Base DN - dc=servername,dc=com (or what ever you use)
Search String - uid=[search]
Users DN - leave blank
Connect username - leave blank
Connect password - leave blank
Map: Full Name - fullName
Map: E-mail
Map: User ID - uid

Binding Zimbra to a particular IP Print E-mail
Written by Richard

The virtual Server that runs this Joomla site and Zimbra has 3 public IP addreses. As Zimbra binds to port 80 for its HTTP web client I needed to force Zimbra to only bind to one of these IPs so that Apache running Joomla could bind to another. This allows http://www.all-our-email.com to connect to Joomla and http://all-our-email.com to connect to Zimbra.

  • edit /opt/zimbra/mailboxd/etc/jetty.xml.in
        add <Set name="Host">your-ip-address</Set> to the HTTP connector
  • edit /opt/zimbra/mailboxd/etc/zimbra.web.xml.in
        uncomment zimbra.soap.url, change localhost:7070 to your-ip-address
  • edit /opt/zimbra/mailboxd/etc/zimbraAdmin.web.xml.in
        uncomment zimbra.soap.url, change localhost:7070 to your-ip-address
  • su - zimbra
  • zmcontrol stop
  • zmcontrol start

This applies to Zimbra 5.
