<div class="admonition info">
<p class="admonition-title">Info</p>
<p>This was originally a community contributed guide. Please let us know via a Github Issue if you're having any difficulty following the guide so that we can update it.</p>
</div>
<p>This guide is focused on only using <a href="../../../config/security/understanding-the-ports/">SMTP ports (not POP3 and IMAP)</a> with the intent to relay mail received from another service to an external email address (eg: <code>user@gmail.com</code>). It is not intended for mailbox storage of real users.</p>
<p>In this setup <code>docker-mailserver</code> is not intended to receive email from the outside world, so no anti-spam or anti-virus software is needed, making the service lighter to run.</p>
<div class="admonition tip">
<p class="admonition-title"><code>setup</code></p>
<p>The <code>setup</code> command used below is to be <a href="../../../usage/#get-up-and-running">run inside the container</a>.</p>

<div class="admonition warning">
<p class="admonition-title">Open Relays</p>
<p>Adding the docker network's gateway to the list of trusted hosts (<em>eg: using the <code>network</code> or <code>connected-networks</code> option</em>), can create an <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_mail_relay"><strong>open relay</strong></a>. For instance <a href="https://github.com/docker-mailserver/docker-mailserver/issues/1405#issuecomment-590106498">if IPv6 is enabled on the host machine, but not in Docker</a>.</p>

<details class="tip">
<summary>Firewalled ports</summary>
<p>If you have a firewall running, you may need to open ports <code>25</code>, <code>587</code> and <code>465</code>.</p>
<p>For example, with the firewall <code>ufw</code>, run:</p>

<li>
<p>Configure your DNS service to use an MX record for the <em>hostname</em> (eg: <code>mail</code>) you configured in the previous step and add the <a href="../../../config/best-practices/spf/">SPF</a> TXT record.</p>
<div class="admonition tip">
<p class="admonition-title">If you manually manage the DNS zone file for the domain</p>
<p>It would look something like this:</p>

mail IN A 10.11.12.13
; mail-server for example.com

; Add SPF record
@ IN TXT &quot;v=spf1 mx -all&quot;

<p>Aliases make sure that any email that comes to these accounts is forwarded to your third-party email address (<code>external-account@gmail.com</code>), where they are retrieved (<em>eg: via third-party web or mobile app</em>), instead of connecting directly to <code>docker-mailserer</code> with POP3 / IMAP.</p>

<p>Send some test emails to these addresses and make other tests. Once everything is working well, stop the container with <code>ctrl+c</code> and start it again as a daemon: <code>docker-compose up -d</code>.</p>
