Thanks!)<br/>We are working in the Network Service which is the domain name registration center located in Shanghai, China. On October 26, 2026, we received an application from Yiyi Holdings Ltd requested “ illumos ” as their internet keyword and China (CN) domain names( illumos.cn/illumos.com.cn/ illumos.net.cn/ illumos.org.cn).<br/><br/>After checking it, we find this name conflict with your company name or trademark. In order to deal with this matter better, it’s necessary to send email to you and confirm whether your company is associated with this company in china?<br/><br/>Kind regards<br/><br/>Stephen&#34;<br/><br/>So, it looks like I&#39;m the illumos manager. And illumos is my company.<br/><br/>I guess I&#39;m an important barista 😆 <br/><br/>#Spam 2026-10-27T19:49:41Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsyuxhfwm276e2lhy2cku9fdta0whxev0uht94fqacecuc0jw3kudqzyprhpcfeuxwyjv64678aesx60tu9g4gncx2qvr9279ygnd0nayxc297kumy Ok, I&#39;ve managed to install Zimbra inside a illumos (SmartOS) LX zone.<br/>I&#39;ll perform more tests, but everything seems to be fine.
