Instead of determining if you have the existing products (apache,
clamav, slapd, tomcat, etc) and then configuring them, zimbra (the
tarball) installs everything in /opt and I think it kills existing
running apps. So if you were running a web server before you
installed
the tarball, you'd have to integrate your stuff with zimbra.

I am asking that if you use Zimbra on CentOS (either the Free
Version or
the Network Version) that you let them know that you are. If you
would
pay for Official support, let them know that too.
I'm thinking about deploying Zimbra for a customer, and perhaps even
for
myself. But, I haven't figured out if I want to use Zimbra or
Scalix.
I haven't spent much time investigating, though.

Why did you have to install from a tarball ? Were you not running an RPM based distro ? Even so, they have the following distros officially supported;
5.0.1 GA Release
* Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 x86
HTTP | Bittorrent
* Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 x86_64
HTTP | Bittorrent
* Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 x86
HTTP | Bittorrent
* Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 x86_64
HTTP | Bittorrent
* Red Hat Fedora 7 x86
HTTP | Bittorrent
* Debian 4 x86
HTTP | Bittorrent
* MacOS X x86
HTTP | Bittorrent
* openSUSE Linux 10.2 x86
HTTP | Bittorrent
* SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 x86
HTTP | Bittorrent
* SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 x86_64
HTTP | Bittorrent
* Ubuntu 6.06 LTS x86
HTTP | Bittorrent
And each one comes in the right package format, .deb .rpm etc etc. And it is simply a case of running 'install.sh' and it takes care of the rest.
Also, I actually like the fact that it wants its own machine to run in. Makes it more 'applicance' like and believe me it makes for much easier administration. In my case, zimbra server runs in a xen based VM, so there is no real issue with having to integrate other things with zimbra.
I also tried scalix a while back, but IMO, it was not as feature rich as zimbra and it felt a bit clunkier. Now that I'm using zimbra I don't think I'd even bother to look at scalix for at least a couple of years. YMMV.
I remember trying to install the RPM, but it didn't work. I don't
remember any details other than in order to get it working, I had to use
the tarball. Which btw goes against my Generally Acceptable
Administrative Practices.
I might blow it away and install the rpm version... but probably not
before I setup a virtual machine to put it on.
