[ale] Zimbra

[Derek Atkins]

I can't specifically answer for Zimbra, but another option is Zarafa
(which is available directly for Fedora and possibly other Distros). I run
Zarafa at home for contact and calendaring services.  I don't use it for
email.

It does not replace sendmail; it is not an MTA.  You would have sendmail
deliver to it, and when you send mail out through it you would have it
pass the email to sendmail.

Hope that helps?
