Step 1: Update And Upgrade Linux (Install Zimbra Ubuntu 18.04)
First, for how to install Zimbra on Ubuntu 18.04, we have to update and upgrade packages on linux, so that everything needed to install Zimbra goes well.
apt update && apt upgrade
Step 2: Edit Hostname and Linux Hosts File (Install Zimbra Ubuntu 18.04)

And Reboot
rebootStep 3: Install dnsmasq
Next Install Zimbra Ubuntu, we will install dnsmasq as a DNS server. But before that we must first turn off systemd-resolve which is running on port 53, because DNS is also running on port 53 which causes the port to conflict.
systemctl disable systemd-resolved
systemctl stop systemd-resolved
Step 4: Configure Resolv File (Install Zimbra Ubuntu)
The basic configuration of the ubuntu resolv file is already linked with the ubuntu system, so to use dnsmasq we have to remove the link first.
To see if a file is still symlinked, use the following command:
ls -lh /etc/resolv.conf
Delete the resolv.conf file, follow the following command.
rm -f /etc/resolv.conf
Now create a new resolv.conf file and fill in the Google DNS server, follow the following command
nano /etc/resolv.conf
Install dnsmasq , follow the following command
apt install dnsmasq -y
Step 5: Configure Dnsmasq(Install Zimbra Ubuntu)
After installing Dnsmasq, then configuring Dnsmasq, open the dnsmasq.conf file located in /etc/dnsmasq.conf.
Backup the default dnsmasq configuration file, namely dnsmasq.conf, if there is an error in the configuration, we can restore it to the beginning. Follow these commands:
cp /etc/dnsmasq.conf /etc/dnsmasq.conf.bak
Edit file dnsmasq.conf
nano /etc/dnsmasq.conf
Follow the following configuration, changing ip-address and dixmata.com according to what you are using.
server= 172.20.2.90
domain=dixmata.com
mx-host= dixmata.com, mail.dixmata.com, 5
mx-host= mail.dixmata.com, mail.dixmata.com, 5
listen-address=127.0.0.1Restart service dnsmasq
systemctl restart dnsmasq
