Hello,
I've upgraded from ZCS 8.0 to 8.6 and now have problems with zimbraMtaSmtpdMilters parameter. It's not "transferred" to MTA main.cf configuration file.
I'm installing milter using:
zmprov ms `hostname` zimbraMtaSmtpdMilters inet:localhost:7777
and later invoking
zmprov gs `hostname` zimbraMtaSmtpdMilters
gives me good results:
zimbraMtaSmtpdMilters: inet:localhost:7777
But main.cf configuration file has empty smtpd_milters property (it didn't update) and communication between MTA and milter is not working. When I manually change smtpd_milters everything is working like a charm, but only till next MTA restart.
In ZCS 8.0 this configuration worked without a problem. I'm missing something here? Any help would be appreciated.

Anyone?

Same problem here

I've encountered the same problem on 8.6.0, quite annoying as my 3rd party anti-spam and several other milters are configured via this mechanism. This worked fine in 8.0.x, but not now.

I looked all over at the various provisioning and couldn't figure out why it's not working...
Super-ghetto-but-functional hack is to add a line to the "command()" section of the /etc/init.d/zimbra startup script:
...
        su - zimbra -c "zmcontrol $1 </dev/null"
        su - zimbra -c "postconf -e 'smtpd_milters = inet:127.0.0.1:12322'"
}
...

Bugzilla issue: https://bugzilla.zimbra.com/show_bug.cgi?id=97706

For now I've found two workarounds.
1. Remove these lines from conf/zmconfigd.cf configuration file, smtpd_milters will not be overwritten.
POSTCONF smtpd_milters
if VAR zimbraMtaSmtpdMilters
    POSTCONF smtpd_milters VAR zimbraMtaSmtpdMilters
fi


2. Set zimbraMtaServerEnabled to TRUE, this will enable build-in milter but will preserve custom milters entries.
