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 or ldap auth
- dovecot for sasl, imap (and optional pop3) with ssl support, with ldap auth
- saslauthd with ldap auth
- amavis
- spamassasin supporting custom rules
- clamav with automatic updates
- opendkim
- opendmarc
- fail2ban
- fetchmail
- basic [sieve support](https://github.com/tomav/docker-mailserver/wiki/Configure-Sieve-filters) 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 latest image

    docker pull tvial/docker-mailserver:latest

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

Adapt this file with your FQDN. Install [docker-compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/) in the version `1.6` or higher.

```yaml	
version: '2'

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

volumes:
  maildata:
    driver: local
```

#### Create your mail accounts

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

    mkdir -p config
    touch config/postfix-accounts.cf
    docker run --rm \
      -e MAIL_USER=user1@domain.tld \
      -e MAIL_PASS=mypassword \
      -ti tvial/docker-mailserver:latest \
      /bin/sh -c 'echo "$MAIL_USER|$(doveadm pw -s SHA512-CRYPT -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:latest generate-dkim-config

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

#### Start the container

    docker-compose up -d mail

You're done!

## Environment variables
