Give zimbra lots of memory, the more the merrier. It doesn’t like less than 4G. Couple cores on a xeon works fine. The setup wizard is annoying. If your DNS isn’t dialed, you may pull your hair out until you understand they want it a very specific way. Nothing wrong with that, just very unforgiving about mis-configured DNS records, wizard dies. Have many boxes with community edition working fine, but they keep trying to up sell to something commercial. I’ve never thought I needed the commercial version, except they try to very hard to annoy me into paying lots of money for it. I just want mail, and a decent client, not collaboration so much. The GUI is very slow if you skimp on memory. Unless you tweak the spam filters and sort of know what you’re doing, you might consider a commercial spam-cleaning relay service. You can do it yourself, but email servers are never fire-and-forget, especially from a spam control perspective. Enjoy.
> > Guys I am just wondering if you guys have setup zimbra for email server? If so what kind of hardware/software you guys using for it? I am trying to get away from iredmail setup and I seen zimbra on what I am looking for an mail server. Tim
