A fullstack but simple mail server (SMTP, IMAP, LDAP, Antispam, Antivirus, etc.). Only configuration files, no SQL database. Keep it simple and versioned. Easy to deploy and upgrade. [Documentation][documentation::web] via MkDocs. [Why this image was created.](https://tvi.al/simple-mail-server-with-docker/).
If you have issues, read the full `README` **and** the [documentation][documentation::web] **for your version** (default is `edge`) first **before opening an issue**. The issue tracker is for issues, not for personal support.

## Requirements
**Recommended**:
- 1 Core
- 2GB RAM
- Swap enabled for the container
**Minimum**:
- 1 vCore
- 512MB RAM
**Note:** You'll need to deactivate some services like ClamAV to be able to run on a host with 512MB of RAM. Even with 1G RAM you may run into problems without swap, see [FAQ](https://docker-mailserver.github.io/docker-mailserver/edge/faq/#what-system-requirements-are-required-to-run-docker-mailserver-effectively).
## Usage
### Available image sources / tags
[CI/CD](https://github.com/docker-mailserver/docker-mailserver/actions) will automatically build, test and push new images to container registries. Currently, the following registries are supported:
- [DockerHub](https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/mailserver/docker-mailserver)
- [GitHub Container Registry](https://github.com/orgs/docker-mailserver/packages?repo_name=docker-mailserver)
All workflows are using the **tagging convention** listed below. It is subsequently applied to all images pushed to supported container registries:
| Event | Ref | Commit SHA | Image Tags |
|--------------|-----------------------|------------|-------------------------------|
| `push` | `refs/heads/master` | `cf20257` | `edge` |
| `push` | `refs/heads/stable` | `cf20257` | `stable` |
| `push tag` | `refs/tags/[v]1.2.3` | `ad132f5` | `1.2.3`, `1.2`, `1`, `latest` |
### Get the tools
Download `docker-compose.yml` and `mailserver.env`
``` BASH
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/docker-mailserver/docker-mailserver/master/docker-compose.yml
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/docker-mailserver/docker-mailserver/master/mailserver.env
```
and the `setup.sh` **in the correct version**
``` BASH
# if you're using :edge as the image tag
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/docker-mailserver/docker-mailserver/master/setup.sh
# if you're using :latest (= :9.1.0) as the image tag
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/docker-mailserver/docker-mailserver/v9.1.0/setup.sh
chmod a+x ./setup.sh
# and make yourself familiar with the script
./setup.sh help
```
**Make sure to get the `setup.sh` that comes with the release you're using**. Look up the release and the git commit on which this release is based upon by selecting the appropriate tag on GitHub. This can done with the "Switch branches/tags" button on GitHub, choosing the right tag. This is done in order to rule out possible inconsistencies between versions.
### Create a docker-compose environment
1. [Install the latest docker-compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/)
2. Edit `docker-compose.yml` to your liking
- substitute `<HOSTNAME>` and `<DOMAINNAME>` according to your domain
- if you want to use SELinux for the `./config/:/tmp/docker-mailserver/` mount, append `-z` or `-Z`
3. Configure the mailserver container to your liking by editing `mailserver.env` ([**Documentation**](https://docker-mailserver.github.io/docker-mailserver/edge/config/environment/))
- this file supports [_only_ simple `VAR=VAL`](https://docs.docker.com/compose/env-file/) (**don't** quote your values)
- variable substitution is **not** supported (e.g. :no_entry_sign:`OVERRIDE_HOSTNAME=$HOSTNAME.$DOMAINNAME` :no_entry_sign:)
### Get up and running
``` BASH
docker-compose up -d mailserver
# for SELinux, use -Z
./setup.sh [-Z] email add <user@domain> [<password>]
./setup.sh [-Z] alias add postmaster@<domain> <user@domain>
./setup.sh [-Z] config dkim
```
If you're seeing error messages about unchecked error, please **verify that you're using the right version of `setup.sh`**. Refer to the [Get the tools](#get-the-tools) section and / or execute `./setup.sh help` and read the `VERSION` section.
In case you're using LDAP, the setup looks a bit different as you do not add user accounts directly. Postfix doesn't know your domain(s) and you need to provide it when configuring DKIM:
``` BASH
./setup.sh config dkim domain '<domain.tld>[,<domain2.tld>]'
```
If you want to see detailed usage information, run `./setup.sh config dkim help`.
### Miscellaneous
#### DNS - DKIM
When keys are generated, you can configure your DNS server by just pasting the content of `config/opendkim/keys/domain.tld/mail.txt` to [set up DKIM](https://mxtoolbox.com/dmarc/dkim/setup/how-to-setup-dkim). See the [documentation](https://docker-mailserver.github.io/docker-mailserver/edge/config/best-practices/dkim/) for more details.
#### Custom user changes & patches
If you'd like to change, patch or alter files or behavior of `docker-mailserver`, you can use a script. See the [documentation](https://docker-mailserver.github.io/docker-mailserver/edge/config/advanced/override-defaults/user-patches/) for a detailed explanation.
#### Updating `docker-mailserver`
``` BASH
docker-compose pull
docker-compose down
docker-compose up -d mailserver
```
You're done! And don't forget to have a look at the remaining functions of the `setup.sh` script with `./setup.sh help`.
#### 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.
#### Bare Domains
If you want to use a bare domain (`hostname` == `domainname`), see [FAQ](https://docker-mailserver.github.io/docker-mailserver/edge/faq#can-i-use-nakedbare-domains-no-host-name).
#### 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
```
#### 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.
#### Ports
See the [documentation](https://docker-mailserver.github.io/docker-mailserver/edge/config/security/understanding-the-ports/) for further details and best practice advice, **especially regarding security concerns**.
## Examples
### With Relevant Environmental Variables
This example provides you only with a basic example of what a minimal setup could look like. We **strongly recommend** that you go through the configuration file yourself and adjust everything to your needs. The default [docker-compose.yml](./docker-compose.yml) can be used for the purpose out-of-the-box, see the [usage section](#usage).
