Environment

Variables

  1. If an option doesn't work as documented here, check if you are running the latest image!
  2. Values in bold are the default values.
  3. Since docker-mailserver v7.1.0, comparisons for environment variables are executed differently. If you previously used VARIABLE='' as the empty value, update to now use VARIABLE=.

General

DMS_DEBUG
  • 0 => Debug disabled
  • 1 => Enables debug on startup
SUPERVISOR_LOGLEVEL

Here you can adjust the log-level for Supervisor. Possible values are

  • critical => Only show critical messages
  • error => Only show erroneous output
  • warn => Show warnings
  • info => Normal informational output
  • debug => Also show debug messages

The log-level will show everything in its class and above.

ENABLE_AMAVIS

Amavis content filter (used for ClamAV & SpamAssassin)

  • 0 => fail2ban service disabled
  • 1 => Enables fail2ban service

If you enable Fail2Ban, don't forget to add the following lines to your docker-compose.yml:

cap_add:
  - NET_ADMIN

Otherwise, iptables won't be able to ban IPs.

SMTP_ONLY

  • 1 => only launch postfix smtp
SSL_TYPE
  • empty => SSL disabled.
  • letsencrypt => Enables Let's Encrypt certificates.
  • custom => Enables custom certificates.
  • manual => Let you manually specify locations of your SSL certificates for non-standard cases
    • Requires: SSL_CERT_PATH and SSL_KEY_PATH ENV vars to be set to the location of the files within the container.
    • Optional: SSL_ALT_CERT_PATH and SSL_ALT_KEY_PATH allow providing a 2nd certificate as a fallback for dual (aka hybrid) certificate support. Useful for ECDSA with an RSA fallback. Presently only manual mode supports this feature.
  • self-signed => Enables self-signed certificates.

Please read the SSL page in the documentation for more information.

TLS_LEVEL
  • empty => modern
  • modern => Enables TLSv1.2 and modern ciphers only. (default)
  • intermediate => Enables TLSv1, TLSv1.1 and TLSv1.2 and broad compatibility ciphers.
SPOOF_PROTECTION

  • empty => Mail address spoofing allowed. Any logged in user may create email messages with a forged sender address. See also Wikipedia(not recommended, but default for backwards compatibility reasons)
  • 1 => (recommended) Mail spoofing denied. Each user may only send with his own or his alias addresses. Addresses with extension delimiters are not able to send messages.
ENABLE_SRS

Enables the Sender Rewriting Scheme. SRS is needed if your mail server acts as forwarder. See postsrsd for further explanation.

  • 0 => Disabled
  • 1 => Enabled
PERMIT_DOCKER

Set different options for mynetworks option (can be overwrite in postfix-main.cf) WARNING: Adding the docker network's gateway to the list of trusted hosts, e.g. using the network or connected-networks option, can create an open relay, for instance if IPv6 is enabled on the host machine but not in Docker.

  • empty => localhost only
  • host => Add docker host (ipv4 only)
  • network => Add the docker default bridge network (172.16.0.0/12); WARNING: docker-compose might use others (e.g. 192.168.0.0/16) use PERMIT_DOCKER=connected-networks in this case
  • connected-networks => Add all connected docker networks (ipv4 only)

Note: you probably want to set POSTFIX_INET_PROTOCOLS=ipv4 to make it work fine with Docker.

NETWORK_INTERFACE

In case your network interface differs from eth0, e.g. when you are using HostNetworking in Kubernetes, you can set this to whatever interface you want. This interface will then be used.

  • empty => eth0
VIRUSMAILS_DELETE_DELAY

Set how many days a virusmail will stay on the server before being deleted

  • 1 => Enables Managesieve on port 4190
OVERRIDE_HOSTNAME
  • empty => uses the hostname command to get the mail server's canonical hostname
  • => Specify a fully-qualified domainname to serve mail for. This is used for many of the config features so if you can't set your hostname (e.g. you're in a container platform that doesn't let you) specify it in this environment variable.
POSTMASTER_ADDRESS
POSTSCREEN_ACTION
  • 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.
  • 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.
DOVECOT_MAILBOX_FORMAT
  • maildir => uses very common Maildir format, one file contains one message
  • sdbox => (experimental) uses Dovecot high-performance mailbox format, one file contains one message
  • mdbox ==> (experimental) uses Dovecot high-performance mailbox format, multiple messages per file and multiple files per box

This option has been added in November 2019. Using other format than Maildir is considered as experimental in docker-mailserver and should only be used for testing purpose. For more details, please refer to Dovecot Documentation.

POSTFIX_INET_PROTOCOLS
  • all => All possible protocols.
  • ipv4 => Use only IPv4 traffic. Most likely you want this behind Docker.
  • ipv6 => Use only IPv6 traffic.

Reports

PFLOGSUMM_TRIGGER

Enables regular pflogsumm mail reports.

  • not set => No report
  • daily_cron => Daily report for the previous day
  • logrotate => Full report based on the mail log when it is rotated

This is a new option. The old REPORT options are still supported for backwards compatibility. If this is not set and reports are enabled with the old options, logrotate will be used.

PFLOGSUMM_RECIPIENT

Recipient address for pflogsumm reports.

  • not set => Use REPORT_RECIPIENT or POSTMASTER_ADDRESS
  • => Specify the recipient address(es)
PFLOGSUMM_SENDER

From address for pflogsumm reports.

  • not set => Use REPORT_SENDER or POSTMASTER_ADDRESS
  • => Specify the sender address
LOGWATCH_INTERVAL

Interval for logwatch report.

  • none => No report is generated
  • daily => Send a daily report
  • weekly => Send a report every week
LOGWATCH_RECIPIENT

Recipient address for logwatch reports if they are enabled.

  • not set => Use REPORT_RECIPIENT or POSTMASTER_ADDRESS
  • => Specify the recipient address(es)
REPORT_RECIPIENT (deprecated)

Enables a report being sent (created by pflogsumm) on a regular basis.

  • 0 => Report emails are disabled unless enabled by other options
  • 1 => Using POSTMASTER_ADDRESS as the recipient
  • => Specify the recipient address
REPORT_SENDER (deprecated)

Change the sending address for mail report

  • empty => mailserver-report@hostname
  • => Specify the report sender (From) address
REPORT_INTERVAL (deprecated)

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

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 the logs.

LOGROTATE_INTERVAL

Defines the interval in which the mail log is being rotated.

  • daily => Rotate daily.
  • weekly => Rotate weekly.
  • monthly => Rotate monthly.

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.

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.

SpamAssassin

ENABLE_SPAMASSASSIN
  • 0 => SpamAssassin is disabled
  • 1 => SpamAssassin is enabled

/!\ Spam delivery: when SpamAssassin is enabled, messages marked as spam WILL NOT BE DELIVERED. Use SPAMASSASSIN_SPAM_TO_INBOX=1 for receiving spam messages.

SPAMASSASSIN_SPAM_TO_INBOX
  • 0 => Spam messages will be bounced (rejected) without any notification (dangerous).
  • 1 => Spam messages will be delivered to the inbox and tagged as spam using SA_SPAM_SUBJECT.
MOVE_SPAM_TO_JUNK
  • 1 => Spam messages will be delivered in the Junk folder.
  • 0 => Spam messages will be delivered in the mailbox.

Note: this setting needs SPAMASSASSIN_SPAM_TO_INBOX=1

Note: this SpamAssassin setting needs ENABLE_SPAMASSASSIN=1

SA_TAG2
  • 6.31 => add 'spam detected' headers at that level

Note: this SpamAssassin setting needs ENABLE_SPAMASSASSIN=1

SA_KILL
  • 6.31 => triggers spam evasive actions

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.

SA_SPAM_SUBJECT
  • ***SPAM*** => add tag to subject if spam detected

Note: this SpamAssassin setting needs ENABLE_SPAMASSASSIN=1. Add the SpamAssassin score to the subject line by inserting the keyword _SCORE_: ***SPAM(_SCORE_)***.

SA_SHORTCIRCUIT_BAYES_SPAM
  • 1 => will activate SpamAssassin short circuiting for bayes spam detection.
