[afnog] Zimbra with SAN

[Mohamadi ZONGO]

to find it just type: find /opt/zimbra -name "main.cf"

Should be here : /opt/zimbra/posfix/conf/main.cf

In  case other zimbra process is monitoring this mail storage directory,
i think it is more safe to copy then symblink the mail storage directory to
the new one. And you wil not have to modify the config file.
