How to Add a Zimbra User to Allow Distribution List Creation

NB: This is going to be another documentation purpose post.

A distribution list allow you to create a mailing list. So for example if you have a CRM with a member of 100, you want to add them to a list, so that you do not need to email each of them distinctively when required, instead, you keep a list with an email like [email protected] and allow somebody to shoot at that email, which would make sure all the CRM members get the email. In Zimbra, there is a feature called ‘Distribution List’. By default this is only permitted to admin user to create. But in case, you want to permit a user to create distribution list, you would need to use ‘zimprov’ command. Here is the reference:

# su - zimbra
# zmprov grantRight domain yourzimbradomain.com usr [email protected] createDistList

Fairly simple!
