If you are facing memory heap size problem with java, try following this link:
http://www.thatsmyview.net/2010/04/17/optimizing-performance-for-vps-and-low-ram/
and also set your default heap size in java by editing ~/.bash_profile
export _JAVA_OPTIONS=-Xmx100m


#If your mail have not been deliver, try check the que by running:
sudo mailq

#if you encounter some file(1) utils missing, install it by running:
sudo yum install file

#If you are running zimbra from a openvz vps, please ensure min 3Gb of burst memory. Or it wont run properly. The problem is due to missing swap in openvz. So it will need sufficient memory to run.
