< p > < code > docker-mailserver< / code > aggregates multiple "sub-services", such as Postfix, Dovecot, Fail2ban, SpamAssassin, etc. In many cases, one may edit a sub-service's config and reload that very sub-service, without stopping and relaunching the whole mail-server.< / p >
< p > In order to do so, you'll probably want to push your config updates to your server through a Docker volume (these docs use: < code > ./docker-data/dms/config/:/tmp/docker-mailserver/< / code > ), then restart the sub-service to apply your changes, using < code > supervisorctl< / code > . For instance, after editing fail2ban's config: < code > supervisorctl restart fail2ban< / code > .< / p >

< p > Clamav can consume a lot of memory, as it reads the entire signature database into RAM.< / p >
< p > Current figure is about 850M and growing. If you get errors about clamav or amavis failing to allocate memory you need more RAM or more swap and of course docker must be allowed to use swap (not always the case). If you can't use swap at all you may need 3G RAM.< / p >
