```
#
# CURRENTLY IN RELEASE CANDIDATE

```


A fullstack but simple mail server (smtp, imap, antispam, antivirus...).
Only configuration files, no SQL database. Keep it simple and versioned.
Easy to deploy and upgrade.

Includes:

- postfix with smtp auth
- dovecot for sasl, imap (and optional pop3) with ssl support
- amavis
- spamassasin supporting custom rules
- clamav with automatic updates
- opendkim
- opendmarc
- fail2ban
- basic sieve support using dovecot
- [LetsEncrypt](https://letsencrypt.org/) and self-signed certificates
- [integration tests](https://travis-ci.org/tomav/docker-mailserver)
- [automated builds on docker hub](https://hub.docker.com/r/tvial/docker-mailserver/)

Why I created this image: [Simple mail server with Docker](http://tvi.al/simple-mail-server-with-docker/)

Before you open an issue, please have a look this `README`, the [Wiki](https://github.com/tomav/docker-mailserver/wiki/) and Postfix/Dovecot documentation.

## Usage

#### Get v2 image
 
    docker pull tvial/docker-mailserver:v2

#### Create a `docker-compose.yml`

Adapt this file with your FQDN.

    version: '2'

    services:
      mail:
        image: tvial/docker-mailserver:v2
        # build: .
        hostname: mail
        domainname: domain.com
        container_name: mail
        volumes:
        - maildata:/var/mail
        ports:
        - "25:25"
        - "143:143"
        - "587:587"
        - "993:993"
        volumes:
        - ./config/:/tmp/docker-mailserver/
        - ./opendkim/:/tmp/docker-mailserver/opendkim/

    volumes:
      maildata:
        driver: local

#### Create your mail accounts

Don't forget to adapt MAIL_USER and MAIL_PASS to your needs

    mkdir -p config
    docker run --rm \
      -e MAIL_USER=user1@domain.tld \
      -e MAIL_PASS=mypassword \
      -ti tvial/docker-mailserver:v2 \
      /bin/sh -c 'echo "$MAIL_USER|$(doveadm pw -s CRAM-MD5 -u $MAIL_USER -p $MAIL_PASS)"' >> config/postfix-accounts.cf

#### Generate DKIM keys 

    docker run --rm \
      -v "$(pwd)/config":/tmp/docker-mailserver \
      -ti tvial/docker-mailserver:v2 generate-dkim-config

Now the keys are generated, you can configure your DNS server by just pasting the content of `config/opedkim/keys/domain.tld/mail.txt` in your `domain.tld.hosts` zone.

#### Start the container

    docker-compose up -d mail

You're done!

## Environment variables

Please check [how the container starts](https://github.com/tomav/docker-mailserver/blob/v2/target/start-mailserver.sh) to understand what's expected.

If you enable Fail2Ban, don't forget to add the following lines to your `docker-compose.yml`:

Otherwise, `iptables` won't be able to ban IPs.
