This still seems to be an issue. I never get e-mail about updates. Current version: Release 8.8.15.GA.3869.UBUNTU16.64 UBUNTU16_64 FOSS edition, Patch 8.8.15_P11. I changed the update URL to HTTP so I could capture it with tcpdump, and I can then see it does this query: https://www.zimbra.com/aus/un...

The first thing I'd try, is to just upgrade to the latest version (8.8.15 Patch-7). You can download it at zimbra.org (although I don't know why they offer that, as opposed to zimbra.com, where you have to fill out a form for the open source edition). There are some difficulties upgrading from 8.6 t...

It doesn't seem to, to my dismay

I've mentioned it before as a method against attacks on HTTP traffic, but to reiterate: If you have an extra server (small VM will do) and if your user base allows it, you can block the HTTP(S) traffic, and only allow the web mail to be used through an authenticated HTTP proxy . I use this kind of p...

I just performed an upgrade from Ubuntu 14.04 Zimbra 8.7.11, to Ubuntu 16.04, Zimbra 8.8.12. Let me document my findings: The instructions on the wiki (as per today) didn't work. After having to fix Java VM debugging startup parameters from localconfig.xml , the mailboxdaemon complained about the st...

Joho and David, did you see/use the (semi) official Upgrade Ubuntu 14.x to Ubuntu 16.x and update ZCS 8.7 & above As always, make some kind of backup. My Zimbra virtual machine is on a logical volume, so I always make a backup snapshot. I close all tcp ports when I do it so nothing gets mutated....

You can always use 'stat' to look at the ctime: you can't change that.

What LVM strategy you use? Snapshotting /opt/zimbra/store ? I outlined it some post back, but in short: the entire virtual machine is on an logical volume, which I snapshot and backup. But, your issue emphasis the important of being able to restore one account, which is kind of tricky with the FOSS...

Smart.

Are you still in a position to do 'diff -r' on the dirs? I'd like to see the difference.

I want to find out if this version has the same vulnerability... 8.7.6_GA_1776.FOSS I am not quite sure because there are no patches released for this version. There are: you need to update to 8.7.11 and then apply patch 11. I have found this messages in the log, however there is nothing else, like...
