db accounts setprop xxxx zarafa enabled

nano -w /etc/e-smith/templates-user/.qmail/15Zarafa

{
   my $zarafa = $user->prop('zarafa') || ;

   return "| /usr/bin/zarafa-dagent -q $USERNAME"
           if ($zarafa eq 'enabled');

Other tasks

Start Zarafa services

/etc/init.d/zarafa-server start
/etc/init.d/zarafa-spooler start

Usage

After implementing the .qmail fragment mail is sent to zarafa, and NOT the users ~\Maildir

Webmail

Access with browser for a local user

• http://serverip/zarafa

Windows Clients

• MS Outlook

• zarafaclient-*.msi contained in the win32 directory of zarafa-*.tar.gz

Imap & POP

UNTESTED

Start the service

/etc/init.d/zarafa-gateway start

Configure the client (what address/port ?)

Mobiles

UNTESTED

Install rpm, start service, configure

Issues

Backup

• Either change the install location of the mail stores so they are backed up, requires using rpm -Uvh with a switch, not yum
• Or document what directories to add to backups

.qmail fragment

Unless we change the order of the .qmail fragment, some SME functions are bypassed, eg Forwarding of mail, and contribs such as vacation and mailsorting.

• Probably should be after system fragments so you can forward and copy without issue
• mailsorting contrib sorts to Maildir folders, zarafa won't see them

suggest you don't use mailsorting, and we rename to .qmail/50Zarafa
