Hi All,
Is anyone versed in Zimbra?
Extremely-- and I know that Zimbra is flat out not supported under CentOS, by their own decision. If this is community edition, it's a different kettle of fish entirely.
I have most things working except some MTA issue. I tried posting on the Zimbra forums after reading the docs, but my post was labeled as SPAM and the moderators have not replied to my private message to get my post reviewed. Who uses this type of method for getting help anyway? Aren't the days of Bulletin Board BBS's gone?
People who know how to concisely ask a question, mostly.
Anyway...
I installed ZCS for the first time today. Most things are running except I cannot send or receive mail. I get MTA errors. I assume that it is not running. When I send I get unable to connect to MTA.
How do I diagnose the issue?

Kill sendmail, postfix, exim, qmail, or whatever else you've got running. One thing to be clear on is that Zimbra changes a LOT on your box; that's why in production I've always run it within its own VM, so it can break anything it likes without affecting anything I care about.
I have not done anything with Postfix at all....U am sure it is the Fatal Bind message above, do I need to configure Postfix? I thought Zimbra did that on install?
Yup. It does. But you need to kill any other MTA first.
The Zimbra setup guide is very clear about this-- how did you get this far along without referencing it?
