Hi I am running ZCS 5.0 on RHEL 4 and I see that there are lot of daily mail reports getting generated and sent automatically to admin@domain. can someone please tell me how to disable these email reports? If it is impossible to disable them, how can I change the recipient id to some other than admin@domain? Please help.
Thanks

Check out the zimbra users' crontab.
#

# Daily reports

#

10 1 * * * /opt/zimbra/libexec/zmdailyreport -m

Comment that out to stop them for good.
or remove the "-m" and change it to a redirect if you want the reports to be generated to a text file somewhere.

Thank you Krishopper. I have disabled the report for now. But if you happen to know how to change the recipient id from admin@domain to something else, please let me know. Thanks.

That is something I do not recall how to do.
However, what I did is I made the Admin's inbox a shared folder for my admins so they can access it directly from their webclient.

zmlocalconfig -e smtp_destination=admin2@domain.com
Also relevant to that is:

smtp_notify=yes (enabled)

smtp_source=admin@server.domain.com (the from)

zimbra_mtareport_max_recipients=50

zimbra_mtareport_max_senders=50

Hello, I am on Zimbra 10.1.16_GA_0226.RHEL8_64_20260409141503 RHEL8_64 FOSS edition.
I would like to stop receiving the daily mail report.
Looking at this thread, if I go in crontab it say not to edit the lines manually. Any cleaner way or do I just force and comment out the report line?
Another method I have read is to make blank the SMTP notify setting. Doing this I am afraid to disable other Zimbra system email notifications. I am not sure if there are side effects.
Which is the correct way to disable the daily mail report for Zimbra 10.x ?
