How To Export/Import Signature on Zimbra Mail Server

After migrating quotas that has been explained on previous article, i am also should be migrated signature from old Zimbra to the new Zimbra. The following is what i do for migrating signature from old to the new Zimbra

Export (on the old Zimbra)

# Create simple script for retrieve information of signature

cd /srv/
mkdir sig
vi export-signature.sh

Fill with the following line

#!/bin/bash
 
clear
mkdir -p /tmp/sig
echo "Retrieve zimbra user name..."
 
USERS=`su - zimbra -c 'zmprov -l gaa | sort'`;
 
for ACCOUNT in $USERS; do
NAME=`echo $ACCOUNT`;
sign=`su - zimbra -c "zmprov ga $NAME zimbraPrefMailSignature" &gt; /tmp/sig/$NAME`
sed -i -e "1d" /tmp/sig/$NAME
sed 's/zimbraPrefMailSignature: //g' /tmp/sig/$NAME &gt; sig/$NAME
rm /tmp/sig/$NAME
echo "Export signature for $NAME..."
done
echo "All signature has been export successfully"

# Save and execute

1.chmod +x export-signature.sh

2.sh export-signature.sh

The all result of above command are files which is saved in /srv/sig folder. Copy sig folder to the new Zimbra

Import (on the new Zimbra)

Assuming sig folder is placed in /srv/ folder. Make the simple script for importing signature who has been exported

1.cd /srv/

2.vi import-signature.sh

Fill with the following line

for file in /srv/sig/*
do
StrSign=`cat "$file"`
Acc=`echo $file | cut -d "/" -f5`
su - zimbra -c "zmprov ma $Acc zimbraPrefMailSignature '$StrSign'"
echo "Process import signature $Acc"
done
echo "Process import signature has been finished"

Note : The signature who has been export/import is only text signature (not include html). Until now, i am have not yet found how to export html signature from Zimbra

Good luck and hopefully useful

To get the HTML version replace zimbraPrefMailSignature with zimbraPrefMailSignatureHTML.
