end with This enables the service.

Then Restart

You should have access now to your http://zimbraserver:7780/webui/index.php

Ofc you need now to config the policyd however I will not going into that here

Note if you disabled IPV6 on your server policyd will not start, so it needs enabling ipv6 even if your not using it..

  1. Thanks for your post!!

    The correct port (in my case) using Zimbra 8.7 is 7780.

    $ zmcontrol -v
    Release 8.7.0.GA.1659.UBUNTU14.64 UBUNTU14_64 FOSS edition.

    Regards,

  2. Thanks for the post. When ipv6 is disabled, I think you have to comment the following line in /etc/hosts. Then cbpolicyd should start.
