deliver local root mails

Post by andras0602 »

Dear Team,

I have a couple of Zimbra 8.8.15 Linux servers and the regular cron and system alerts can't be delivered from them.

I could already figure that out zimbra has it's own zimbra-postfix package and my original from the OS repo as a service is completely disabled.
My system ofc. wants to use the binaries from it's own repo and not from /opt/zimbra/common/...
Should I change my PATH system wide or symlink binaries from the zimbra folder?
Is there any best-practice how to make it work?

Many thanks!

Reconfigure your OS postfix package to bind to another port (such as 8025) and define zimbra's postfix (localhost:25) as its relayhost then enable your OS postfix package back.
This way cron and all other local packages will be able to send mails.
