Zimbra uses the zmprov command to create a group and authorize the group to send emails.

The zmprov tool can execute many tasks, such as creating accounts, aliases, domain names, cos, lists, and calendars.

For the email administrator, zmporv is a powerful tool in CLI (command line interface) for daily work. Of course, you can also perform these operations on the Administrator console.

# To Use Authorization commands, you must enable the milter Server
