[ale] Zimbra

[Scott Plante]

Users can add their own external POP or IMAP account in the Web UI, and it will appear as another account. They could then transfer their emails as they come in by dragging them to where they want them. That may not be as automated as you'd like. 


I've never used fetchmail, but looking at fetchmail.info it seems like this would work with Zimbra. It just sends to the users' email addresses via SMTP, right? Other than the Earthlink mail, Zimbra comes with SpamAssassin and ClamAV already configured in the chain, so for mail coming directly to the Zimbra server you wouldn't have to do anything. 


Zimbra includes their own version of all the included software, installed under the Zimbra directory (/opt/zimbra in our case), not the versions out of your distribution's repository. It's all pre-wired to work together which is part of the beauty. That also why it wants to be on a server by itself. You don't want to install the OS sendmail or postfix to compete with the Zimbra version.

Will it handle stuff in /var/spool/mail/<user>? If Sendmail receives 
email on the Zimbra host how does it get into Zimbra?
