On Sunday, August 31, Zimbra’s information security and technology team noticed unusual activity on the Zimbra vBulletin forum on Zimbra.com. We immediately took steps to limit the impact of the malicious activity.
- This did not affect customer, partner or employee data.
- This was not a breach of Zimbra products.
- Immediate action was taken to ensure proper incident remediation, including consultation with the appropriate authorities.
As part of our risk mitigation plan, the Zimbra forums that are supported by vBulletin have been temporarily taken down for patching and upgrades. This includes all forums that provide crowdsourced support for Zimbra Collaboration. Neither Zimbra Support nor forums at community.zimbra.com (forums for Zimbra Community and legacy Telligent software) were affected.
Thank you for your patience and understanding related to the temporary turn down of forums.zimbra.com. We apologize for the inconvenience. Please know that we are taking this incident seriously and working quickly to resume normal operations. We expect a resolution within the next 48 hours.
Any news on forum to get back?
Thank You.
I will see what I can find out and share an update. Thank you.

Hello, I am trying to use Zimbra for the first time.
Unfortunately, my emails are not automatically downloaded. I set the download every minute. Only, when I manually click on send/receive I can receive the emails. I was hoping that the forum could give some info but it is down. Any help?
Cheers,
Hi Marco, I’m Jenn, Zimbra’s community manager. I will do my best to help you. I have a few questions for you to help me understand your issue better. I am going to send you an email to the address you provided to make this comment. Is this email address one that you can get to?
ZCS-6.0.16_zmmailboxdctl not running
We are migrating our mail server from a 32-bit ZCS 6.0.16 (on Ubuntu 8.04.4 physical server) to a 64-bit ZCS 6.0.16 (Ubuntu 8.04.4 on a VMWare VSphere 5.5 VM).
Each time I start the services and show zmcontrol status I am getting zmmailboxdctl not running.
A check in the vi /opt/zimbra/log/zmmailboxd.out I am seeing a line that says:
Invalid initial heap size: -Xms5948m
The specified size exceeds the maximum representable size.
Could not create the Java virtual machine.
While in the I do tail -f /var/log/zimbra.log I see a message that says;
zmmailboxmgr not running
A portion of my /opt/zimbra/bin/zmmailboxdctl is as below:
mailboxd_java_heap_memory_percent=${mailboxd_java_heap_memory_percent:=25}
mailboxd_java_heap_new_size_percent=${mailboxd_java_heap_new_size_percent:=25}
memkb=$(zmsysmemkb)
javaXmx=$(expr ${memkb} ‘*’ ${mailboxd_java_heap_memory_percent} / 100 / 1024)
javaXms=${javaXmx}
javaXmn=$(expr ${javaXmx} ‘*’ ${mailboxd_java_heap_new_size_percent} / 100)
A search on the Internet shows that your Zimbra forum website is under maintenance.
Kindly help,
Hi Mulenga. This is Jenn, Zimbra’s community manager. I’m going to run your issue by our team and see if we can get answer for you.
Yes Jenn, you can use this one. It is a masked email. But I will receive it. Thanks.
Hi Jenn, How many days we have to wait for Forum? I need to migrate debian postfix mail system to Zimbra. My email delivery of new zimbra is a little bit slow with local domain. I have to fix it
Hi Ahmad. I still do not have an ETA on the forum. I’ll see if I can get some help for you on your issue. To confirm, you are saying you are using the open source version of Zimbra Collaboration 8.5? Please advise.
Mulenga, I sent you a response to the email you provided when you signed up to make a comment here.
Hi Jenn, Thnx 4 your quick reply. I have a domain which is on Zimbra 8.0.6 open source(without SSL Heartbleed Fix) with 2 multimaster ldap,2 mailbox (1 Backup),1 MTA Memchach & Proxy which is running very swiftly with Cent OS 6.4 & Xenserver 6.2.It takes 2 or 3 seconds for self test mail incoming from HTTPS. But Another domain I have setup with same setup with latest 8.0.6 (Heartbleed Fixed) and Cent OS 6.5. But here it takes 7 or 8 seconds for message delivery to inbox with self test from HTTPS.I m very worried about that cause it is going to be in production.
Ahamad, check your email for some advice on your issue. :)
Is this why our staff have started receiving Zimbra targeted Phishing emails? The list of recipients seemed to be those who would have signed up to forums.
Hi Stuart. May name is Jenn; I’m Zimbra’s community manager. I have been assured that no member information was touched. I am going to send you some more information using the email you provided to make your comment here.
You guys are still down? You guys said 48 hours but it’s been 7 days now…
Hey Jason. Sorry. We’re working on it. We’ll have an update soon. Please stay tuned to our Twitter handle @Zimbra for updates. Is there an immediate issue you need help with?
Hi ma’am Jenn can I ask a regarding for the computation of disk usage in zimbra server?
Sure thing, Reymund. I just sent you an email with some questions to help me help you.
Hi Jenn,
Sorry to bother you but I have a Zimbra 8.5 that is running great for 99% only problem that I have is when I add a file as an attachment to a reply in the webinterface (ajax/default) the screen get’s greyed out with following message: “No such message part” and the upload isn’t complete afterwards. Attaching the same or an other file overwrites the faulty attached file and you can send the mail fine afterwards. Tried it with FF 32 and IE10 in WIN7Pro and it only happens with a reply never with a new message.
Could you please add this as a bug report?
Kind regards,
Koen
Hi Koen. You’re never a bother. :) I will provide this feedback to our team. If they have a solution, I’ll send it your way. If it truly is a bug, we’ll definitely make a report. Thank you so much. We really appreciate you.
Good morning Koen, you could find a solution, because I am having the same problem on Zimbra 8.6.0 . Grateful !
Hi Amauri,
Please upgrade to Zimbra Collaboration 8.6, and apply the latest patch 2, should fix your issue.
Have a good day and let us know.
Hello,
Is there an ETA yet? I don’t have to tell you, but being down this long is not only very worrisome (and getting scarier every day because it looks like a major hack now), but it’s killing your community as people venture out to find other sources of Zimbra information. I personally need access to the vast troves of knowledge locked away in your forums…
Hi Jose. News is coming soon. I understand your concern. I really appreciate it. Please stay tuned.
It is with great difficulty that I express my disappointment with Zimbra (company) and Zimbra staff regarding the outage of the forums. We use the forums as permanent reference for our in-house development team. After the initial crash and the 48hrs notice, I am most disgusted with the inability for the Zimbra staff to get this back up and running.
More or less same issue here with zcs 8.5 patch 1 :
When replying in webinterface with Ie 10 or 11 the reply writes all the previous messages on 1 line.
Also the ajax interface gives problems.
Thanks !
Thanks for the feedback Lars. I’ll see if there is a solution and send it to you via email.
Any update on when the discussion board will be up?
Thom & all, please see this post for an update about the status of the forums: http://community.zimbra.com/zblogs/b/teamblog/archive/2014/09/12/zimbra-forums-migrating-to-new-home
Oh, Yes… the “Forums” will be “up” as part of the new “Community” board…
Be ready to loose you sanity when you try to use them.
Hi Peter. I know change is difficult. It’s going to be different certainly, but it’s not going to be difficult. I know most members are really going to like it once they get used to it.
Very poorly handled migration. Started off with some sort of “hack”, then took the opportunity to migrate? I know you guys just bought Zimbra, but come on!
Great way to start off by showing the community how much you understand it’s needs.
For crying out loud, this is pathetic. You guys can’t even maintain a forums let alone the Zimbra codebase.
Jose, +100500!
Any updates here? I have same problem. ZCS 8.5 Patch 1 W8.1 Chrome 37.0.2062.124 m
