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.

## ANNOUNCEMENT
2020-04-05 07:26:09 +00:00
At this point we have merged the next branch based on Debian Buster into master.
That means the docker image latest uses Buster. The change may break things!
2020-03-16 17:38:28 +00:00
The following possibly breaking changes are known:
- Filebeat is removed and should be handled by another container, see [Wiki ](https://github.com/tomav/docker-mailserver/wiki/ ).
- Dovecot will be downgraded a little bit (same major version) so that we can use the official Debian version.
If you want to stick to the old version a while longer, either switch to stable or to a specific version.
If you run into problems, please raise issues and ask for help. Don't forget to provide details.

2018-01-09 07:31:15 +00:00
## Requirements
Recommended:
- 1 CPU
2019-10-28 12:55:18 +00:00
- 1-2GB RAM
- Swap enabled for the container
2018-01-09 07:31:15 +00:00
Minimum:
- 1 CPU
- 512MB RAM
2019-11-02 05:46:35 +00:00
**Note:** You'll need to deactivate some services like ClamAV to be able to run on a host with 512MB of RAM. Even with 1G RAM you may run into problems without swap, see [FAQ ](https://github.com/tomav/docker-mailserver/wiki/FAQ-and-Tips ).

## Usage
2015-03-31 15:28:13 +00:00
2016-05-08 18:10:38 +00:00
#### Get latest image
2016-08-31 13:15:39 +00:00
2016-05-08 18:10:38 +00:00
docker pull tvial/docker-mailserver:latest
2015-03-28 15:04:09 +00:00
2018-02-07 18:37:26 +00:00
#### Get the tools
2016-04-20 08:15:51 +00:00
2018-02-07 18:37:26 +00:00
Download the docker-compose.yml, the .env and the setup.sh files:
2018-03-07 18:33:43 +00:00
2018-02-07 18:37:26 +00:00
curl -o setup.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tomav/docker-mailserver/master/setup.sh; chmod a+x ./setup.sh
2018-03-07 18:33:43 +00:00
2018-02-07 18:37:26 +00:00
curl -o docker-compose.yml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tomav/docker-mailserver/master/docker-compose.yml.dist
2018-03-07 18:33:43 +00:00
2018-02-07 18:37:26 +00:00
curl -o .env https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tomav/docker-mailserver/master/.env.dist
2020-01-13 13:36:58 +00:00
2019-10-17 15:53:32 +00:00
curl -o env-mailserver https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tomav/docker-mailserver/master/env-mailserver.dist
2016-02-01 14:05:29 +00:00
2018-02-07 18:37:26 +00:00
#### Create a docker-compose environment
2019-09-29 18:17:09 +00:00
- Edit the files `.env` and `env-mailserver` to your liking:
2019-09-20 19:38:13 +00:00
- `.env` contains the configuration for docker-compose
- `env-mailserver` contains the configuration for the mailserver container
2019-09-20 16:40:37 +00:00
- These files supports only simple `VAR=VAL` lines (see [Documentation ](https://docs.docker.com/compose/env-file/ )).
2018-11-11 19:46:53 +00:00
- Don't quote your values.
- Variable substitution is *not* supported (e.g. `OVERRIDE_HOSTNAME=$HOSTNAME.$DOMAINNAME` ).
2019-01-20 10:16:19 +00:00
- Install [docker-compose ](https://docs.docker.com/compose/ ) in the version `1.7` or higher.
2018-02-07 18:37:26 +00:00
2020-01-18 10:42:23 +00:00
**Note:** If you want to use a bare domain (host name equals domain name) see [FAQ ](https://github.com/tomav/docker-mailserver/wiki/FAQ-and-Tips#can-i-use-nakedbare-domains-no-host-name ).
2018-10-14 19:41:52 +00:00
#### Start Container
docker-compose up -d mail
2018-02-07 18:37:26 +00:00
#### Create your mail accounts
2018-04-04 16:59:28 +00:00
./setup.sh email add < user @ domain > [< password > ]
2018-02-07 18:37:26 +00:00
#### Generate DKIM keys
./setup.sh config dkim
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.
2019-07-24 12:06:31 +00:00
#### Restart and update the container
2018-02-07 18:37:26 +00:00
2018-10-14 19:41:52 +00:00
docker-compose down
2019-07-24 12:06:31 +00:00
docker pull tvial/docker-mailserver:latest
2018-02-07 18:37:26 +00:00
docker-compose up -d mail
You're done!
And don't forget to have a look at the remaining functions of the `setup.sh` script
2018-03-18 19:15:06 +00:00
#### SPF/Forwarding Problems
If you got any problems with SPF and/or forwarding mails, give [SRS ](https://github.com/roehling/postsrsd/blob/master/README.md ) a try. You enable SRS by setting `ENABLE_SRS=1` . See the variable description for further information.
2018-02-07 18:37:26 +00:00
#### For informational purposes:
Your config folder will be mounted in `/tmp/docker-mailserver/` . To understand how things work on boot, please have a look at [start-mailserver.sh ](https://github.com/tomav/docker-mailserver/blob/master/target/start-mailserver.sh )
2017-01-04 09:05:02 +00:00
2020-03-19 15:04:21 +00:00
`restart: always` ensures that the mail server container (and Filebeat/ELK containers when using the mail server together with ELK stack) is automatically restarted by Docker in cases like a Docker service or host restart or container exit.
2017-03-16 15:45:47 +00:00
2018-02-18 12:12:39 +00:00
#### Exposed ports
2020-04-27 06:23:32 +00:00
| Protocol | Opt-in Encryption< sup > 1< / sup > | Enforced Encryption | Purpose |
|----------|-------------------------------|---------------------|----------------------|
| SMTP | 25 | N/A | Transfer< sup > 2< / sup > |
| ESMTP | 587 | 465< sup > 3< / sup > | Submission |
| POP3 | 110 | 995 | Retrieval |
| IMAP4 | 143 | 993 | Retrieval |
1. A connection *may* be secured over TLS when both ends support `STARTTLS` . On ports 110, 143 and 587, `docker-mailserver` will reject a connection that cannot be secured. Port 25 is [required ](https://serverfault.com/questions/623692/is-it-still-wrong-to-require-starttls-on-incoming-smtp-messages ) to support insecure connections.
2. Receives email and filters for spam and viruses. For submitting outgoing mail you should prefer the submission ports(465, 587), which require authentication. Unless a relay host is configured, outgoing email will leave the server via port 25(thus outbound traffic must not be blocked by your provider or firewall).
3. A submission port since 2018, [RFC 8314 ](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8314 ). Originally a secure variant of port 25.
See the [wiki ](https://github.com/tomav/docker-mailserver/wiki ) for further details and best practice advice, especially regarding security concerns.

- monthly => Send a report every month
2019-09-15 13:40:05 +00:00
Note: This variable used to control logrotate inside the container and sent the pflogsumm report when the logs were rotated.
It is still supported for backwards compatibility, but the new option LOGROTATE_INTERVAL has been added that only rotates
2020-01-13 13:36:58 +00:00
the logs.
2019-09-15 13:40:05 +00:00
2020-01-13 13:36:58 +00:00
##### LOGROTATE_INTERVAL
2019-09-15 13:40:05 +00:00
Defines the interval in which the mail log is being rotated.
- **daily** => Rotate daily.
- weekly => Rotate weekly.
- monthly => Rotate monthly.
Note that only the log inside the container is affected.
The full log output is still available via `docker logs mail` (or your respective container name).
If you want to control logrotation for the docker generated logfile see: [Docker Logging Drivers ](https://docs.docker.com/config/containers/logging/configure/ ).
Also note that by default the logs are lost when the container is recycled. To keep the logs, mount a volume.
Finally the logrotate interval **may** affect the period for generated reports. That is the case when the reports are triggered by log rotation.

## Postgrey
Introducing Postscreen (#799)
* Introduced Postscreen
cheaper, earlier and simpler blocking of zombies/spambots.
From http://postfix.cs.utah.edu/POSTSCREEN_README.html :
As a first layer, postscreen(8) blocks connections from zombies and other spambots that are responsible for about 90% of all spam. It is implemented as a single process to make this defense as cheap as possible.
Things we need to consider:
- Do we need a whitelist/backlist file? (http://postfix.cs.utah.edu/postconf.5.html#postscreen_access_list)
- Via introducing an optional config/postfix-access.cidr
- The only permanent whitelisting I could imagine are monitoring services(which might (still?) behave weird/hastely) or blacklisting backup servers(since no traffic should be coming from them anyway)
- Do we need deep inspections? They are desireable, but these tests are expensive: a good client must disconnect after it passes the test, before it can talk to a real Postfix SMTP server. Considered tests are:
- postscreen_bare_newline_enable (http://postfix.cs.utah.edu/postconf.5.html#postscreen_bare_newline_action)
- postscreen_non_smtp_command_enable (http://postfix.cs.utah.edu/postconf.5.html#postscreen_non_smtp_command_action)
- postscreen_pipelining_enable (http://postfix.cs.utah.edu/postconf.5.html#postscreen_pipelining_action)
- Do we need to make the blacklisting via dnsblocking configurable? It's currently set and weighted as follows, where a score of 3 results in blocking, a score of -1 results in whitelisting:
(*: adds the specified weight to the SMTP client's DNSBL score. Specify a negative number for whitelisting.)
(http://postfix.cs.utah.edu/postconf.5.html#postscreen_dnsbl_sites)
- zen.spamhaus.org*3
- bl.mailspike.net
- b.barracudacentral.org*2
- bl.spameatingmonkey.net
- bl.spamcop.net
- dnsbl.sorbs.net
- psbl.surriel.com
- list.dnswl.org=127.0.[0..255].0*-2
- list.dnswl.org=127.0.[0..255].1*-3
- list.dnswl.org=127.0.[0..255].[2..3]*-4
- What to do when blacklisting? I currently set it to drop. We could
- ignore: Ignore the failure of this test. Allow other tests to complete. Repeat this test the next time the client connects. This option is useful for testing and collecting statistics without blocking mail.
- enforce: Allow other tests to complete. Reject attempts to deliver mail with a 550 SMTP reply, and log the helo/sender/recipient information. Repeat this test the next time the client connects.
- drop: Drop the connection immediately with a 521 SMTP reply. Repeat this test the next time the client connects.
In the end I think we could drop postgrey support. Postscreen replaces postgrey in its entirety, while being more selective and not delaying mail. Especially if we consider using the deep inspection options of postscreen.
Hope that wasn't too much to read! ;)
* main.cf got misformatted..
Don't know how, should be ok now.
* fixed malformatted main.cf & repaired master.cf
* reenabled rbl stuff.. It's cached, therefore doesn't hurt
* fixed tests
* added tests, repaired tests, added info, introduced new Variable POSTSCREEN_ACTION, fixes

## SRS (Sender Rewriting Scheme)
2019-12-03 13:33:51 +00:00
##### SRS_SENDER_CLASSES
An email has an "envelope" sender (indicating the sending server) and a
"header" sender (indicating who sent it). More strict SPF policies may require
you to replace both instead of just the envelope sender.
[More info ](https://www.mybluelinux.com/what-is-email-envelope-and-email-header/ ).
- **envelope_sender** => Rewrite only envelope sender address
- header_sender => Rewrite only header sender (not recommended)
- envelope_sender,header_sender => Rewrite both senders
2018-02-18 19:53:13 +00:00

- if you have a cluster/swarm make sure the same keys are on all nodes
- example command to generate a key: `dd if=/dev/urandom bs=24 count=1 2>/dev/null | base64`
