Configure Zimbra to use SendGrid as Smarthost

Switch to user Zimbra

su zimbra

Add credentials to relay_password file:

nano /opt/zimbra/conf/relay_password

Add:

smtp.sendgrid.net yourSendGridUsername:yourSendGridPassword

Apply configuration to Zimbra

postmap /opt/zimbra/conf/relay_password
postmap -q smtp.sendgrid.net /opt/zimbra/conf/relay_password
zmprov ms `zmhostname` zimbraMtaSmtpSaslPasswordMaps lmdb:/opt/zimbra/conf/relay_password
zmprov ms `zmhostname` zimbraMtaSmtpSaslAuthEnable yes
zmprov ms `zmhostname` zimbraMtaSmtpCnameOverridesServername no
zmprov ms `zmhostname` zimbraMtaSmtpTlsSecurityLevel may
zmprov ms `zmhostname` zimbraMtaSmtpSaslSecurityOptions noanonymous
zmprov ms `zmhostname` zimbraMtaRelayHost smtp.sendgrid.net:587

Now wait for a couple of minutes and start testing it by sending out some test mails. Follow the log file to see if it works or not:

Zimbra Let’s Encrypt auto-renew SSL

Required for this script to work is certbot package installed on email server and sudo rights to add script in crontab. You can add script in crontab at a weekly run like this: 0 0 * * 0 root /path_to_script.

#!/bin/bash

#Set domain for renew (in format openthreat.ro)
DOMAIN=""

certbot certificates

EXPIRE_DAYS=`cat /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log | grep VALID | cut -d\( -f2 | cut -d\) -f1 | awk '{print $2}'`

if [[ $EXPIRE_DAYS -lt 30 ]]; then

#Stop the jetty or nginx service at Zimbra level
runuser -l zimbra -c 'zmproxyctl stop'
runuser -l zimbra -c 'zmmailboxdctl stop'

#Renew SSL
certbot renew --standalone

#Copy new SSL to Zimbra SSL folder
cp /etc/letsencrypt/live/mail.$DOMAIN/* /opt/zimbra/ssl/letsencrypt/

Remove DNSCACHE from zimbra services.

If you will get a prompt stating something like “Port conflict detected: 53 (zimbra-dnscache)” with a prompt to hit ENTER to continue, you can just hit enter and let the installation/upgrade run out. Once everything is running, you will see that the Zimbra DnsCahe service is in a stopped state. To fix this error, all you have to do is

# zmcontrol status
# zmprov ms `zmhostname` -zimbraServiceEnabled dnscache
# zmprov ms `zmhostname` -zimbraServiceInstalled dnscache
# zmcontrol status

You will see that the service is removed from Zimbra’s Services.

Install a Sectigo Domain Validation SSL certificate in Zimbra

We usually get the below four files from Sectigo in the certificate bundle. The file name may vary depending on the certificate type

  1. yourdomain.com.crt – main certificate
  2. AAACertificateServices.crt – Root Certificate
  3. USERTrustRSAAAACA.crt – Intermediate Certificate – 1
  4. SectigoRSADomainValidationSecureServerCA.crt – Intermediate Certificate – 2

Step 1: We shall create two files as below.

commercial_ca.crt (includes root certificate and two intermediate certificates)
commercial.crt (includes main certificate, root certificate and two intermediate certificates)

Step 2: Login to Zimbra server, move to directory /opt/zimbra/ssl/zimbra/commercial and create two files as below.

root@mail:~# cd /opt/zimbra/ssl/zimbra/commercial/
root@mail:/opt/zimbra/ssl/zimbra/commercial# touch commercial_ca.crt
root@mail:/opt/zimbra/ssl/zimbra/commercial# touch commercial.crt

Redirect HTTP to HTTPs automatically in Zimbra 8.8

The most popular out of 5 options for proxy services, is to redirect. To do this, you can run the following as zimbra user:

zmprov ms `zmhostname` zimbraReverseProxyMailMode redirect

Zimbra 8.8 on CentOS 7

Before we proceed with Zimbra Collaboration Suite installation process, first login to your server console with root privileges and install the following packages:

# yum -y install unzip net-tools sysstat openssh-clients perl-core libaio nmap-ncat libstdc++.so.6 perl perl-core ntpl nmap sudo libidn gmp libaio libstdc++ unzip sqlite dnsmasq

Next, issue getenforce command to check if Selinux in enabled on your machine. In case the policy is set to Enforced disable it by issuing the below commands:

# getenforce
# setenforce 0
# getenforce

To completely disable Selinux on CentOS, open /etc/selinux/config file with a text editor and set the line SELINUX to disabled.

Assure that wget system utility is also installed on your system by issuing the following command:

# yum install wget

In order for Zimbra to function correctly you must set the local machine hostname and FQDN to point to your server IP Address by running the below commands from root account:

# hostnamectl set-hostname mail
# echo "192.168.0.14 mail.centos7.lan mail " >> /etc/hosts
# cat /etc/hosts

Replace the system hostname and FQDN values accordingly in order to match your own domain settings. Test the hostname and FQDN values by issuing the ping command against both records. Continue reading “Zimbra 8.8 on CentOS 7” »
