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.) |

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 |

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. |
