Tasks may include:
Review migration approach (9 → 10 Daffodil)
LDAP / domain / hostname validation
Zimbra proxy & services troubleshooting
License (LDS) validation and migration checks
Mail flow (Postfix, DNS, DKIM/SPF/DMARC)
Answering specific technical questions during migration

Required experience:
Strong hands-on experience with Zimbra 8.8 / 9 / 10
LDAP / MMR knowledge
Understanding of NG modules and LDS (Zimbra 10 licensing)
Linux (Ubuntu / RHEL / Oracle Linux)
Postfix & mail routing

Nice to have:
Proven experience with Zimbra migrations
Experience with Zimbra Daffodil (10.1.x)
Consulting / troubleshooting background

Engagement:

Initially 3–5 hours (may extend)
