Good News Everyone. My mail server is working. It did take an uninstall and a reinstall but I got there. The good news is that I am getting quicker at installing and configuring the Zimbra Software. I didn’t actually find the cause of the original issue, but after the reinstall it has all worked out really well.  I would still like to know what was wrong but I am really glad to have it working.

As I work my way through the features of Zimbra, I will talk about some of the more stand out features.  I have setup a catch all account to see what traffic is hitting my mail server.  I have realised that my server only has a 20Gb hard drive, so the next thing is to increase the capacity  of the storage space.

The messaging client is quite good and will come in handy as I increase the number of people using the service.  It is similar to Yahoo! messenger.
