This is not the case with bridge networks that typically bind to a private range network for containers which are bridged to a public interface via Docker. + +If your Docker host is running multiple IPv4 and IPv6 IP-addresses, it may be beneficial to bind outgoing SMTP connections to specific IP-address / interface. + +- When a mail is sent outbound from DMS, it greets the MTA it is connecting to with a EHLO (DMS FQDN) which might be verified against the IP resolved, and that a `PTR` record for that IP resolves an address back to the same IP. +- A similar check with SPF can be against the envelope-sender address which may verify a DNS record like MX / A is valid (_or a similar restriction check from an MTA like [Postfix has with `reject_unknown_sender`][gh-pr::3465::comment-restrictions]_). +- If the IP address is inconsistent for those connections from DMS, these DNS checks are likely to fail. + +This can be configured by [overriding the default Postfix configurations][docs::overrides-postfix] DMS provides.
