This is just a short post describing Zimbra distribution list (mailinglist) commands.

These commands should be run as the zimbra user

# su - zimbra

List all distribution lists

# zmprov gadl

Print only members addresses of a distribution list

# zmprov gdl mailinglist@example.com | grep zimbraMailForwardingAddress: | awk {'print $2'}

Show if a list is member of another distribution list(s)

# zmprov gdlm mailinglist@example.com

I had some problems with one of my mailaccounts periodically not receiving mail. A temporary way to fix it was to restart zimbra as zimbra user (zmcontrol stop; zmcontrol start; ) It worked for a while, but came back usually after a couple of hours.

The solution to this problem was to reindex the mailaccount as zimbra user.

# su - zimbra
# zmprov rim username@example.com start
# zmprov rim username@example.com status
