project for class

Post by randomaustralian »

Morning,

I have had to set up a specific enviroment for class and i'm stuck on the email services because of zimbra.

I have w2012r2 ADDS, DS389, Exchange and Zimbra all set up to work together. I cant even get zimbra to even attempt to send an email to my exchange server, and my exchange server tries to send an email to zimbra but zimbra doesnt recieve it.

t he error i get on zimbra is:

Code: Select all

An unknown error (mail.TRY_AGAIN) has occurred.

               },
              ct: "text/html"
             }
           ]
         }
       ],
      su: {
        _content: "test"
       }
     },
    suid: 1534293438992
   }
 },
Header: {
  context: {
    _jsns: "urn:zimbra",
    account: {
      _content: "admin@zimbra.daydream.lan",
      by: "name"
     },
    authToken: "(removed)",
    csrfToken: "0_5715b4c81fdfa408582ee2de4066ca410c4452cd",

    session: {
      _content: 11,
      id: 11
     },
    userAgent: {
      name: "ZimbraWebClient - GC68 (Win)",
      version: "8.8.6_GA_1906"
     }
   }
 }
the error keeps popping up until i delete the draft email. I'm guessing it has something to do with dns servers or records but i cant figure out what i'm missing. Does zimbra have a built in dns server that i need to direct to my domain controller?

many thanks for help in advance

Code: Select all

zmcontrol -v

i'm a little confused here...

systemctl shows postfix is running

Code: Select all

[root@zimbra ~]# systemctl status postfix
● postfix.service - Postfix Mail Transport Agent
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/postfix.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)
   Active: active (running) since Tue 2018-08-14 14:02:44 AEST; 6 days ago
but zimbra says it isnt...

this one is beyond me, have i missed something in the zimbra configuration?

Hi,

zimbra runs it's own postfix instance, you have to disable the postfix that comes with Centos.

Sounds like you found your problem. Zimbra does not use the system postfix. It has it's own bundled MTA/postfix. You should disable the system one and start the zimbra one. I'd suggest reading through the Installation guide.

You just have to start the zimbra one. It's already enabled.
