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.

title: 'Custom User Changes & Patches | Scripting'
---
If you'd like to change, patch or alter files or behavior of `docker-mailserver`, you can use a script.
In case you cloned this repository, you can copy the file `user-patches.sh.dist` under `config/` with `#!sh cp config/user-patches.sh.dist config/user-patches.sh` in order to create the `user-patches.sh` script. In case you are managing your directory structure yourself, create a `config/` directory and the `user-patches.sh` file yourself.
``` sh
# 1. Either create the config/ directory yourself
# or let docker-mailserver create it on initial
# startup
~/somewhere $ mkdir config && cd config
# 2. Create the user-patches.sh and edit it
~/somewhere/config $ touch user-patches.sh
~/somewhere/config $ vi user-patches.sh
```
The contents could look like this
``` sh
#! /bin/bash
sed -i -E 's|(log_level).*|\1 = -1;|g' /etc/amavis/conf.d/49-docker-mailserver
cat >/etc/amavis/conf.d/50-user << "END"
use strict;
$undecipherable_subject_tag = undef;
$admin_maps_by_ccat{+CC_UNCHECKED} = undef;
#------------ Do not modify anything below this line -------------
1; # ensure a defined return
END
...
```
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.
!!! note
Many "patches" can already be done with the Docker Compose-/Stack-file. Adding hostnames to `/etc/hosts` is done with the `#!yaml extra_hosts:` section, `sysctl` commands can be managed with the `#!yaml sysctls:` section, etc.
