Hi @jeroenlammerts, can I get your docker-compose.yml or command line?
Thank you.

@jeroenlammerts, just tried your docker-compose.yml with the image available on the registry tvial/docker-mailserver and it works.

Could you please try with the image?
Have you modified the Dockerfile or another file of the git repository?

Thank you.

Thanks for your quick help!

I tried this on osx and it is working there, but still have the issue on ubuntu.

I'm using a Digitalocean droplet:

Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS
Release: 14.04
Codename: trusty

docker version:

Client version: 1.6.1
Client API version: 1.18
Go version (client): go1.4.2
Git commit (client): 97cd073
OS/Arch (client): linux/amd64
Server version: 1.6.1
Server API version: 1.18
Go version (server): go1.4.2
Git commit (server): 97cd073
OS/Arch (server): linux/amd64

docker-compose 1.2.0

Looks like the issue is not in your image. I have the same error as here:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/clamav-daemon-fails-to-load-due-to-memory-any-way-to-run-clamscan-on-demand-for-attachments

thanks for your help!

Hmmm.... had a memory issue, not with docker, but with capistrano when compiling assets on Digitalocean. I resolved my issue with this.
Hope this helps.
