[Users] Zimbra 8.7.0 Upgrade Concerns Expanded

[Keith Howanitz]

It has always been NE. (Pricing seems like a bargain to me, so even if NE
did not have extra features, I would have the paid version for the support.)

grep socket localconfig.xml
does not return anything, so I guess I am OK there. I also ran
$ zmlocalconfig | grep mysql_socket
antispam_mysql_socket = ${zimbra_home}/data/amavisd/mysql/mysql.sock
mysql_socket = ${zimbra_db_directory}/mysql.sock

I will plan to wait till the next 8.7 version comes out, and then
additionally discuss with NE support before the upgrade. Right now I am
thinking of getting new hardware, and also switching to Ubuntu 16.04 LTS at
the same time. I have not ever done zmmboxmove, but I am very open to doing
so.
