Sender right restriction Zimbra8 via Milter Service

Specially for Zimbra 8

The Zimbra milter allows for the regulation of distribution list senders on a Global or server level. When the milter server is enabled, only users who have been granted explicit sending permissions will be allowed. Enabling the Milter Server

Implementation

Via Zimbra Admin Panel

Global: Home > Configure > Global Settings > MTA > Milter Server
Server: Home > Configure > Servers > Select Desired Server > MTA > Milter Server

Alternatively using the CLI:

# su - zimbra
$ zmprov modifyConfig zimbraMilterServerEnabled TRUE

For a specific server (say eg.example.com):

$ zmprov modifyServer eg.example.com zimbraMilterServerEnabled TRUE

The above steps will ensure that milter will be automatically started via "zmcontrol start"

To start the milter manually:

       $ zmmilterctl start

To check the status of the milter:

       $ zmmilterctl status

The following will provide examples for granting sender permissions on the CLI:

Caution Before Starting the Assignments of Rights to users for distribution list

First Check the status of milter status

zmmilterctl status
Milter server is running.

Should be Running

Also now check whether Milter parameter is enabled

zmprov gs node.sandhar.in zimbraMilterServerEnabled
# name node.sandhar.in
zimbraMilterServerEnabled: TRUE

Should be TRUE else please do not proceed . please Enable it before Proceeding .

Assigning Rights to Distribution

User - grants a user sending permissions to a distribution list

$ zmprov grr dl distributionlist@domain.com usr user@domain.com sendToDistList 
$ zmprov grr dl all.staff@orientbell.com usr vijay.thakur@orientbell.com sendToDistList

After granting or revoking rights for the milter, you must reaload the configuration for the changes to take effect.

$ zmmtactl reload

Removing Rights to Users for any Distribution List

Modifying and revoking grants

If you want to remove or modify permissions, you'll need to use 'zmprov rvr' instead of 'zmprov grr'.

Example of removing sendToDistList permissions for a user:

$ zmprov rvr dl distributionlist@domain.com usr user@domain.com sendToDistList

After granting or revoking rights for the milter, you must reaload the configuration for the changes to take effect.

$ zmmtactl reload
