Mainly Zima system have some requirements. but if you are trying to install it on a virtual emulation or eve-ng/pnetlab then no need to follow their official requirements. just folow the below steps.
1. Need a Domain name: I have mail.shaharul.abc
2. Need Domain name record in DNS server
| Type | Host | Value |
| A | 192.168.9.91 | |
| MX | @ | mail.shaharul.abc 91 |
If you setup your dns server as i have posted a dns server setup blog. then no need to setup above configuration.
Setup Server
Update Repo
sudo -i
apt update && apt upgrade -ySet Hostname matched your mail server domain name
hostnamectl set-hostname mail.shaharul.abc
sudo -iNow edit the host file
nano /etc/hostsand paste as below
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 mail.shaharul.abc mail
192.168.9.91 mail.shaharul.abc mail
Next, we need to install Dnsmasq to create and manage a few DNS records required by Zimbra. We also need to disable systemd-resolve in order to avoid conflict between dnsmasq and systemd-resolve
systemctl disable systemd-resolved
systemctl stop systemd-resolved
ls -lh /etc/resolv.conf
rm -f /etc/resolv.conf
Now create your own resolv.conf
nano /etc/resolv.confset name server as below
nameserver 192.168.9.92
Now install Dnsmasq
apt install dnsmasq -yNow configure Dnsmasq
Edit dnsmasq.conf.bak
cp /etc/dnsmasq.conf /etc/dnsmasq.conf.bak
nano /etc/dnsmasq.confand paste below content at bottom of the file and change ip and server as your.
server= 192.168.9.91
domain=shaharul.abc
mx-host= shaharul.abc, mail.shaharul.abc, 5
mx-host= mail.shaharul.abc, mail.shaharul.abc, 5
listen-address=127.0.0.1
Now dig the command and see A record
root@mail:~# dig -t A mail.shaharul.abc
