The following article will explain about the quick and easy tutorial : how to installing Zimbra Mail Server on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP1 64 bit. I will use the Minimal Server Appliance in this tutorial to simplify the installation process. Here are some notes related to the server setting :

  1. WARNING : This guide using Preload ISO and will erase the entire contents ofhard disk!  If you do not want to delete your existing data, consider usingVirtualization server or use ISO-LiveCD.

  3. Zimbra will be setting up using Split-DNS concept. This means that in the internal network, mail server will be recognized based on a private IP network, while from the outside will be recognized based on the public IP. For this purpose, the internal DNS will be set up in Zimbra Mail Server
  4. Zimbra Fully Qualified Domain Name : mail.vavai.net, private IP : 192.168.1.250
