Hello,

Been using Zimbra for decades and the latest SMTP exploit left a bad taste in my mouth.  Granted I'm now on 10.1.20 FOSS which fixed the SMTP exploit, I'd love to move to Carbonio CE as it seems more modern, sleek, etc...  Would any one mind giving me some guidance on how to do this?

Hi,

You could try following approach:

  1. Install Carbonio CE on any of the supported OS meeting preliminary and other requirements. 
  2. Plan your migration from Zimbra 10.. (FOSS) to Carbonio CE
  3. Take a look at this doc regarding migration to Carbonio CE.

To give you heads up on migration, it basically contains two basic parts (at least):

a. Transferring and provisioning all accounts, DLs, basic settings etc., from your source server to Carbonio CE server.
b. Migrating Emails from source to Carbonio CE server using IMAPSYNC.

You would find all these in the official documentation.

Thanks!

Thank you Sharif.  The migration is going smoothly, recreating accounts, lists etc... was straight forward as is imapsync which will most likely be done in a weeks time for the initial sync.  Then several more as I get closer to cut over.

I'm really enjoying Carbonio as it seems a fresh take on Zimbra.  Plus all of the commands that I'm used to still work which makes this the proper upgrade path.

I am curious and surprised that there is no Selinux template for enforcing mode as I imagine that all Carbonio mail servers work in a very similar fashion.  I would feel a lot better if I could switch from permissive to enforcing.

Has any one to your knowledge achieved this?
