Today I installed Zimbra on Ubuntu 6.06 LTS. I’ve been a systems administrator for almost 15 years now, both a Exchange administrator and a Lotus Notes administrator. Never have I been so impressed with two products in all my life. Simple fast and direct. I started from scratch and had people exchanging emails 1 hour after I started. Did you just hear what I said! I installed a server operating system and a email server with shared documents and calendering, plus created users in less than 1 hour. I’ve seen the future and it’s Open Source….Oh and the Cost to the State of New Mexico “at which I work”? Absolutely nothing.

Awesome news! I have been keeping my eye on Zimbra, it looks very impressive. It appears to be like Apache is to open source web servers.
Thanks for the review. How many users are going to be on this? Is is production? Do you plan on implementing a redundant cluster? How is the SPAM filtering?

This is in limited production, we will be migrating from domino very soon, it will be about 400 users. and a cluster now that is an idea, was not planning it but I am now. Spam filtering has not been tested, we use a spam filter appliance “Iron mail” so I was not to concerned about Spam.

Its been awhile since you posted this, did you ever try the cluster setup? I am thinking about implementing Zimbra at our offices, we WILL be wanting to use a clustered system.
Thanks

I have not tried a cluster set up, right now I’m running it in a VM environment. Works great.
