Additional Notes

Darrell, I have installed Zarafa manually using custom-templates/db settings and have most everything working flawlessly including the Outlook plugin, and z-push to a WM6 device and I am EXTREMELY impressed. I have a desktop, laptop and my Samsung i760 in perfect sync. The z-push actually "pushes" and emails, calendar, contact changes happen almost instantaneously.

I have a couple of pointers if you are still working on this project.

I notice you use the "db" setting for your users. I found the unix plugin a superb tool. It automatically adds all system users and keeps them in sync including password changes and user additions/deletions. It works on the fly. The only drawback is the fact SME uses weird user/group numbering so you have to include users from 5000 up and then exclude all groups by configuring uniz.cfg to a high range like 10001-10001. I also did not include admin as one of the users due to the limitations on how the unix plugin handles users/groups.

1- I also placed a rewrite rule to force https.

RewriteRule ^/Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync(/.*|$)    https://%{HTTP_HOST}/Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync$1 [L,R]
