Zimbra Module

Jon Morby shared this idea 1 month ago
Under Consideration

We sell Zimbra mailboxes (both under a single domain as a "hotmail" type service, but also as fully business class email with custom domains)

We would like a modlule to manage provisioning of mailboxes and domains, manage quotas and the like

Modules Garden wrote something similar for WHMCS (which is what we have been using, but with the switch to Blesta it is something missing from our current toolkit)

We've already written a module ourselves to manage the "hotmail" type business, but haven't yet had time to do something more fully fledged to manage a whole Zimbra cluster

Do you use the free Zimbra Community Edition or paid version? I'm not sure if that's relevant, I assume most use the community edition. Are these the correct Zimbra API docs? https://files.zimbra.com/docs/soap_api/10.1.0/api-reference/index.html If I understand, this would be the flow: Client orders email hosting, a config option allows them to select the number of mailboxes. A new domain is added to your Zimbra server, and the client can add and remove mailboxes from Blesta based on this limit. I assume they would have webmail access to Zimbra? How would quota's be defined?

If you're willing to sponsor an integration to cover some of our costs, please reach out to me via sales or open a ticket from your account.

We're currently using FOSS but will most likely upgrade to Network Edition for the advanced ACL features as well as better webmail/etc

It shouldn't matter either way though as far as the SOAP API / etc goes ...

Default quotas are defined in the Class of Service however it would be good if "owners" can purchase an storage upgrades defined inside the hosting plan

There are two quotas, domain level and user level. When the domain level is reached then mail stops flowing, even if the individual user quota still has space. From our standpoint we only care about the domain level from a billing perspective, but "owners" should be able to define mailbox quotas per user. It would be good if there were some sanity checking so if they allocate 10 x 25GB quotas but only have 50GB domain quota that Blesta at least warns that they've assigned more than the total limit - and offers them the option to upgrade the domain storage.

Sponsorship is always an option :)
