## Usage
2015-03-31 15:28:13 +00:00
2020-09-04 06:42:12 +00:00
### Get the tools
2016-04-20 08:15:51 +00:00
2020-10-21 15:02:39 +00:00
Download the `docker-compose.yml` , `compose.env` , `mailserver.env` and the `setup.sh` files:
2018-03-07 18:33:43 +00:00
2020-09-05 14:19:12 +00:00
``` BASH
2020-10-18 12:54:23 +00:00
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tomav/docker-mailserver/master/setup.sh
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tomav/docker-mailserver/master/docker-compose.yml
2020-10-21 15:02:39 +00:00
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tomav/docker-mailserver/master/mailserver.env
2020-12-22 10:08:50 +00:00
wget -O .env https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tomav/docker-mailserver/master/compose.env
2020-10-18 12:54:23 +00:00
chmod a+x ./setup.sh
2020-09-04 06:42:12 +00:00
```
2016-02-01 14:05:29 +00:00
2020-09-04 06:42:12 +00:00
### Create a docker-compose environment
2018-02-07 18:37:26 +00:00
2020-10-06 12:45:55 +00:00
- [Install the latest docker-compose ](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/ )
2020-10-21 15:02:39 +00:00
- Edit the files `.env` and `mailserver.env` to your liking:
2019-09-20 19:38:13 +00:00
- `.env` contains the configuration for docker-compose
2020-10-21 15:02:39 +00:00
- `mailserver.env` 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` ).
2020-09-26 13:11:52 +00:00
2020-10-30 17:22:53 +00:00
**Note:** Variables in `.env` are expanded in the `docker-compose.yml` file **only** and **not** in the container. The file `mailserver.env` serves this case where environment variables are used in the container.
2020-09-26 13:11:52 +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 ).
2020-09-24 12:54:21 +00:00
### Get up and running
2020-11-06 13:04:23 +00:00
2020-12-22 10:08:50 +00:00
If you'd like to use SELinux, add `-Z` to the variable `SELINUX_LABEL` in `.env` . If you want the volume bind mount to be shared among other containers switch `-Z` to `-z`
2020-11-06 13:04:23 +00:00
2020-09-04 06:42:12 +00:00
``` BASH
2020-12-19 12:17:48 +00:00
# without SELinux
2020-09-04 06:42:12 +00:00
docker-compose up -d mail
2020-11-06 13:04:23 +00:00
2020-09-04 06:42:12 +00:00
./setup.sh email add < user @ domain > [< password > ]
2020-12-09 20:02:27 +00:00
./setup.sh alias add postmaster@< domain > < user @ domain >
2020-09-04 06:42:12 +00:00
./setup.sh config dkim
2018-02-07 18:37:26 +00:00
2020-12-19 12:17:48 +00:00
# with SELinux
2020-10-30 15:51:27 +00:00
docker-compose up -d mail
2020-11-06 13:04:23 +00:00
2020-10-30 15:51:27 +00:00
./setup.sh -Z email add < user @ domain > [< password > ]
2020-12-09 20:02:27 +00:00
./setup.sh -Z alias add postmaster@< domain > < user @ domain >
2020-10-30 15:51:27 +00:00
./setup.sh -Z config dkim
```
2020-12-19 12:17:48 +00:00
### Miscellaneous
#### DNS - DKIM
2020-11-06 13:04:23 +00:00
2020-10-06 12:45:55 +00:00
Now that 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.
2018-02-07 18:37:26 +00:00
2020-12-19 12:17:48 +00:00
#### Custom user changes & patches
If you'd like to change, patch or alter files or behavior of `docker-mailserver` , you can use a script. Just place it the `config/` folder that is created on startup and call it `user-patches.sh` . The setup is done like this:
``` BASH
$ pwd
/where/docker-mailserver/resides/
$ ls -lhA
-rw-r--r-- USER GROUP SIZE DATE .env
-rw-r--r-- USER GROUP SIZE DATE docker-compose.yml
-rw-r--r-- USER GROUP SIZE DATE mailserver.env
# 1. Either create the config/ directory yourself
# or let docker-mailserver create it on initial
# startup
$ mkdir config
$ cd config
# 2. Create the user-patches.sh script and make it
# executable
$ touch user-patches.sh
$ chmod +x user-patches.sh
$ ls -lh
-rwxr-xr-x USER GROUP SIZE DATE user-patches.sh
# 3. Edit it
$ vi user-patches.sh
$ cat user-patches.sh
#! /bin/bash
# ! THIS IS AN EXAMPLE !
# If you modify any supervisord configuration, make sure
# to run "supervisorctl update" afterwards.
set -euo pipefail
echo 'user-patches.sh started'
if ! grep '192.168.0.1' /etc/hosts
then
echo -e '192.168.0.1 some.domain.com' >> /etc/hosts
fi
sed -i "s/smtpd_sender_restrictions = /smtpd_sender_restrictions = reject_unknown_reverse_client_hostname, /" /etc/postfix/main.cf
sed -i "s/smtpd_sender_restrictions = /smtpd_sender_restrictions = reject_unknown_client_hostname, /" /etc/postfix/main.cf
echo 'user-patches.sh finished successfully'
```
And you're done. the user patches script runs right before starting daemons. That means, all the other configuration is in place, so the script can make final adjustments.

2020-11-25 12:31:21 +00:00
#### Supported Operating Systems
We are currently providing support for Linux. Windows is _not_ supported and is known to cause problems. Similarly, macOS is _not officially_ supported - but you may get it to work there. In the end, Linux should be your preferred operating system for this image, especially when using this mailserver in production.
#### Support for Multiple Domains
`docker-mailserver` supports multiple domains out of the box, so you can do this:
``` BASH
./setup.sh email add user1@docker.example.com
./setup.sh email add user1@mail.example.de
./setup.sh email add user1@server.example.org
```
#### Updating `docker-mailserver`
2018-02-07 18:37:26 +00:00
2020-09-04 06:42:12 +00:00
``` BASH
docker-compose down
2020-11-06 13:04:23 +00:00
docker pull tvial/docker-mailserver:< VERSION TAG >
2020-09-04 06:42:12 +00:00
docker-compose up -d mail
```
2018-02-07 18:37:26 +00:00
2020-10-06 12:45:55 +00:00
You're done! And don't forget to have a look at the remaining functions of the `setup.sh` script with `./setup.sh -h` .
2018-02-07 18:37:26 +00:00
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.
2018-02-18 12:12:39 +00:00
#### Exposed ports
2020-04-27 06:23:32 +00:00
2020-09-04 06:42:12 +00:00
| Protocol | Opt-in Encryption ¹ | Enforced Encryption | Purpose |
| :------: | :----------------------: | :-----------------: | :------------: |
| SMTP | 25 | N/A | Transfer² |
| ESMTP | 587 | 465³ | Submission |
| POP3 | 110 | 995 | Retrieval |
| IMAP4 | 143 | 993 | Retrieval |
2020-04-27 06:23:32 +00:00
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.

Changes the interval in which logs are rotated and a report is being sent (deprecated).
- **daily** => Send a daily report
- weekly => Send a report every week
- monthly => Send a report every month
2018-03-18 18:52:28 +00:00
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
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.

2020-05-02 17:10:36 +00:00
Note: this setting needs `SPAMASSASSIN_SPAM_TO_INBOX=1`
2016-12-25 21:54:37 +00:00
##### SA_TAG
2020-09-04 06:42:12 +00:00
- **2.0** => add spam info headers if at, or above that level
2016-12-25 21:54:37 +00:00

2019-08-21 10:25:10 +00:00
Note: this spamassassin setting needs `ENABLE_SPAMASSASSIN=1` . By default, the mailserver is configured to quarantine spam emails. If emails are quarantined, they are compressed and stored in a location dependent on the ONE_DIR setting above. If `ONE_DIR=1` the location is /var/mail-state/lib-amavis/virusmails/. If `ONE_DIR=0` it is /var/lib/amavis/virusmails/. These paths are inside the docker container. To inhibit this behaviour and deliver spam emails, set this to a very high value e.g. 100.0.

#### 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
