No. If you do not have your own domain name to use with us, you can
use our domain name, zimbra.01.com, but only with our personal
accounts.
With the identities feature in Zimbra, you can simply forward e-mail
to your Zimbra account, and use whatever identity you have created to
send "from". So for instance, if you have a mailbox called
you@yourcompany.com, and you purchase a mailbox called
you@zimbra.01.com from us, you can forward your mail from
you@yourcompany.com to you@zimbra.01.com, and still be able to send
e-mail from the Zimbra web interface from you@yourcompany.com.
However, if you have other people in your organization, you must
share a domain name to take advantage of many of the collaborative
features of Zimbra such as the global address list (GAL) and document
sharing. In most cases, this requires you to switch your MX record for
a domain to us, so that we're accepting all mail for that domain (there
are exceptions, if you're using an up-to-date version of Postfix, the open-source email server software, or you've requested that we forward
all mail received without a mailbox on the 01.com servers to another
mail server, for example, your old server during migration).
So, what happens if you don't want to move your domain's MX record, and you still want to use Zimbra? You must either:
- Purchase another domain to use for Zimbra (<$10/year at GoDaddy.com)
- Use a host name, such as zimbra.yourcompany.com, for your Zimbra mailboxes at 01.com
There are some practical consequences to these decisions, and our
recommended course of action, our best practices for groups of users
under 50 are simply to move your MX record. Groups over 50 should read here.
If you choose to use a host name, such as zimbra.yourcompany.com,
you may use identities to mask your "from" address so that it appears
to be from company.com. It is assumed that your mail server for
company.com would be forwarding e-mails to zimbra.yourcompany.com. Also
note that using this option means that while recipients will
effectively have the "zimbra." part of the zimbra.yourcompany.com
addresses "masked", and just see the from addresses as company.com,
without further customization your users will see their addresses as
the full zimbra.yourcompany.com in the global address list (GAL).
Additionally, when they send mail to their email address at
yourcompany.com, it will go to your other (old) e-mail provider first,
then be forwarded (back) to your mailboxes on the 01.com Zimbra
server(s).
