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.

Includes:

- postfix with smtp or ldap auth
- dovecot for sasl, imap (and optional pop3) with ssl support, with ldap auth
- saslauthd with ldap auth
- [amavis](https://www.amavis.org/)
- [spamassasin](http://spamassassin.apache.org/) supporting custom rules
- [clamav](https://www.clamav.net/) with automatic updates
- opendkim
- opendmarc
- [fail2ban](https://www.fail2ban.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page)
- [fetchmail](http://www.fetchmail.info/fetchmail-man.html)
- [postscreen](http://www.postfix.org/POSTSCREEN_README.html)
- [postgrey](https://postgrey.schweikert.ch/)
- basic [sieve support](https://github.com/tomav/docker-mailserver/wiki/Configure-Sieve-filters) using dovecot
- [LetsEncrypt](https://letsencrypt.org/) and self-signed certificates
- [setup script](https://github.com/tomav/docker-mailserver/wiki/Setup-docker-mailserver-using-the-script-setup.sh) to easily configure and maintain your mailserver
- persistent data and state (but think about backups!)
- [integration tests](https://travis-ci.org/tomav/docker-mailserver)
- [automated builds on docker hub](https://hub.docker.com/r/tvial/docker-mailserver/)

Why I created this image: [Simple mail server with Docker](http://tvi.al/simple-mail-server-with-docker/)

Before you open an issue, please have a look this `README`, the [Wiki](https://github.com/tomav/docker-mailserver/wiki/) and Postfix/Dovecot documentation.

## Requirements

Recommended:
- 1 CPU
- 1GB RAM

Minimum:
- 1 CPU
- 512MB RAM

**Note:** You'll need to deactivate some services like ClamAV to be able to run on a host with 512MB of RAM.

## Usage

#### Get latest image

    docker pull tvial/docker-mailserver:latest

#### Get the tools

Download the docker-compose.yml, the .env and the setup.sh files:
    
    curl -o setup.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tomav/docker-mailserver/master/setup.sh; chmod a+x ./setup.sh
    
    curl -o docker-compose.yml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tomav/docker-mailserver/master/docker-compose.yml.dist
    
    curl -o .env https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tomav/docker-mailserver/master/.env.dist

#### Create a docker-compose environment

- Edit the `.env` to your liking. Adapt this file with your FQDN. 
- Install [docker-compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/) in the version `1.6` or higher.

#### Create your mail accounts

    ./setup.sh email add <email> [<password>]

#### 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.

#### Start the container

    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

#### 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)

`restart: always` ensures that the mail server container (and ELK container 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.

#### Exposed ports
* 25 receiving email from other mailservers
* 465 SSL Client email submission
* 587 TLS Client email submission
* 143 StartTLS IMAP client
* 993 TLS/SSL IMAP client
* 110 POP3 client
* 995 TLS/SSL POP3 client

`Note: Port 25 is only for receiving email from other mailservers and not for submitting email. You need to use port 465 or 587 for this.`
