Dockerized postfix

postfix mail server with configurable hostname and trusted hosts and proper shutdown handling

Install

docker pull gitbook/postfix

Notes

By default, connected rfc1918 networks are detected and allowed. Local networks (127.0.0.1, ::1) are also allowed.

Syslog

Postfix logs to a syslog server. Unless indicated, no syslog server is configured or started started. (the phusion baseimage does start a syslog server).

For simplicity, you can bind-mount the one on the host using -v /dev/log:/dev/log

Suggested Volumes

• /var/spool/postfix is the spool directory. Its also where postfix chroots to by default.
• /etc/postfix is the configuation directory
