Hi @AndreSchwarzer

  1. Thank You.
  2. Done in the README.
    2.1) Env variables.
    2.2) Env variables.
    2.3) Env variables.

I recommend using docker-compose, easier to understand, write and maintain.
I also recommend to use a data only container for you /var/mail folder.

Regards.

Thanks for your reply, but it is not exactly what I wanted to know.

I wanted to know how to change on the running docker instance a users password, add additional users/aliases ...

Thanks a lot.

@AndreSchwarzer, you have 2 options:

  • change config on your running container: in this case I recommend you to have a look to Postfix / Courier-Imap documentation which will be more exhaustive than me. The problem is that when you will restart your container, your changes will be lost.
  • set your config (user, pass, aliases) in your docker-compose.yml. This file can be versioned in a private repository. To apply a change, just restart the container. This what I recommend.

Hope this will answer your questions.

Regards.
