Zimbra Notes

1 Configuration

1.1 Restrict Zimbra Senders to Distribution List

Recently I had some spam on internal distribution lists. That was too bad, because it was a first class credit card fake :-) So I searched and found a simple way to only allow domain sender address to send email to distribution lists. That solved my problem.

Here is how I did it:

zmprov modifyConfig zimbraMilterServerEnabled TRUE
zmmilterctl restart
zmmilterctl status

ZDOMAIN=mydomain.ch
zmprov gadl $ZDOMAIN | while read dl_email
do
   echo "---- deny all senders to $dl_email"
   zmprov grr dl $dl_email pub -sendToDistList
   echo "---- allow $ZDOMAIN senders to $dl_email"
   zmprov grr dl $dl_email dom $ZDOMAIN sendToDistList
done

zmmtactl reload

1.2 Change Galsync Account

zmprov modifyDomain mydomain.ch zimbraGalAccountId 42ef46f3-bc1e-4795-8fca-42d8c3c597bd

zmprov gd mybuehl.ch | egrep -i 'ldap|gal'
   zimbraGalAccountId: 42ef46f3-bc1e-4795-8fca-42d8c3c597bd

#login to zimbra admin and tick "hide in GAL" on galsync account

zmgsautil createAccount -a galsync@mydomain.ch -n InternalGAL --domain mydomain.ch -t zimbra -f _InternalGAL
   galsync@mydomain.ch    42ef46f3-bc1e-4795-8fca-42d8c3c597bd

zmgsautil forceSync -a galsync@mydomain.ch -n InternalGAL

# login to old galsync account (admin) and remove _InternalGAL folder from address book

1.3 get signatures of all users

#!/bin/bash

DIR=/opt/scripts/sig

id | grep zimbra || (echo "ERROR: start it as user zimbra" ; pkill -9 $$)

clear
mkdir -p $DIR
echo "Retrieve zimbra user name..."

USERS=`zmprov -l gaa | sort`

for ACCOUNT in $USERS
do
  NAME=`echo $ACCOUNT`
  zmprov ga $NAME zimbraPrefMailSignature > $DIR/$NAME.txt
  zmprov ga $NAME zimbraPrefMailSignatureHTML > $DIR/$NAME.html
  sed -i -e "1d" $DIR/$NAME.*
  sed -i 's/zimbraPrefMailSignature: //g' $DIR/$NAME.txt
  sed -i 's/zimbraPrefMailSignatureHTML: //g' $DIR/$NAME.html
  echo "Export signature for $NAME..."
done
echo "All signature has been export successfully"
