cbpolicyd + Zimbra 8.x

[anandi]

Hi,

Ref: http://forums.zextras.com/zimbra-how...a-7-1-1-a.html

Is the above still valid for Zimbra 8.x ? Can i know what are the advantages for using the same ?

Hello anandi!

That guide was especially written for Zimbra 7.x, and unfortunately while cbpolicyd is still included in Zimbra 8 the guide you linked (from user feedback I got) is not accurate for this version.

Anyhow, the main advantage of using CBPolicyd is that it allows you to define a set of rules and policies to be applied on the mailflow of your Zimbra server such as Greylisting, HELO Checks and Quota management.

Have a nice day,

Hi Cine,

Thanks for the reply. Is there any info available on CBPolicyd ? Like is it better to use it etc ?

Hi Anandi!

The official CBPolicyd website contains all the informations and docs about the modules and the options of CBPolicyd...

In my opinion it's a nice piece of software that needs a careful planning and setup in order to properly work in large environments, so I only suggest it to those who have at least a basic knowledge on how postfix works and on how the emails flow from and to your server.

Have a nice day,
