Environment Variables

!!! info

Values in **bold** are the default values. If an option doesn't work as documented here, check if you are running the latest image. The current `master` branch corresponds to the image `ghcr.io/docker-mailserver/docker-mailserver:edge`.

General

OVERRIDE_HOSTNAME

If you can't set your hostname (eg: you're in a container platform that doesn't let you) specify it via this environment variable. It will have priority over docker run --hostname, or the equivalent hostname: field in docker-compose.yml.

• empty => Uses the hostname -f command to get canonical hostname for DMS to use.
• => Specify an FQDN (fully-qualified domain name) to serve mail for. The hostname is required for DMS to function correctly.

LOG_LEVEL

Set the log level for DMS. This is mostly relevant for container startup scripts and change detection event feedback.

Valid values (in order of increasing verbosity) are: error, warn, info, debug and trace. The default log level is info.

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.

ONE_DIR

• 0 => state in default directories.
• 1 => consolidate all states into a single directory (/var/mail-state) to allow persistence using docker volumes. See the related FAQ entry for more information.

ACCOUNT_PROVISIONER

Configures the provisioning source of user accounts (including aliases) for user queries and authentication by services managed by DMS (Postfix and Dovecot).

User provisioning via OIDC is planned for the future, see this tracking issue.

• empty => use FILE
• LDAP => use LDAP authentication
• OIDC => use OIDC authentication (not yet implemented)
• FILE => use local files (this is used as the default)

A second container for the ldap service is necessary (e.g. docker-openldap)

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.

• none => Explicitly force authentication
• container => Container IP address 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.

TZ

Set the timezone. If this variable is unset, the container runtime will try to detect the time using /etc/localtime, which you can alternatively mount into the container. The value of this variable must follow the pattern AREA/ZONE, i.e. of you want to use Germany's time zone, use Europe/Berlin. You can lookup all available timezones here.

ENABLE_AMAVIS

Amavis content filter (used for ClamAV & SpamAssassin)

• 0 => Amavis is disabled
• 1 => Amavis is enabled

AMAVIS_LOGLEVEL

This page provides information on Amavis' logging statistics.

• -1/-2/-3 => Only show errors
• 0 => Show warnings
• 1/2 => Show default informational output
• 3/4/5 => log debug information (very verbose)

ENABLE_DNSBL

This enables DNS block lists in Postscreen. If you want to know which lists we are using, have a look at the default main.cf for Postfix we provide and search for postscreen_dnsbl_sites.

!!! danger "A Warning On DNS Block Lists"

Make sure your DNS queries are properly resolved, i.e. you will most likely not want to use a public DNS resolver as these queries do not return meaningful results. We try our best to only evaluate proper return codes - this is not a guarantee that all codes are handled fine though.

**Note that emails will be rejected if they don't pass the block list checks!**

• 0 => DNS block lists are disabled
• 1 => DNS block lists are enabled

ENABLE_OPENDKIM

Enables the OpenDKIM service.

• 1 => Enabled
• 0 => Disabled

ENABLE_OPENDMARC

Enables the OpenDMARC service.

• 1 => Enabled
• 0 => Disabled

ENABLE_POLICYD_SPF

• 0 => Disabled
• 1 => Enabled

ENABLE_POP3

• empty => POP3 service disabled
• 1 => Enables POP3 service

ENABLE_CLAMAV

• 0 => ClamAV is disabled
• 1 => ClamAV is enabled

ENABLE_FAIL2BAN

• 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, nftables won't be able to ban IPs.

FAIL2BAN_BLOCKTYPE

• drop => drop packet (send NO reply)
• reject => reject packet (send ICMP unreachable) FAIL2BAN_BLOCKTYPE=drop

SMTP_ONLY

• empty => all daemons start
• 1 => only launch postfix smtp

SSL_TYPE

In the majority of cases, you want letsencrypt or manual.

self-signed can be used for testing SSL until you provide a valid certificate, note that third-parties cannot trust self-signed certificates, do not use this type in production. custom is a temporary workaround that is not officially supported.

• empty => SSL disabled.
• letsencrypt => Support for using certificates with Let's Encrypt provisioners. (Docs: Let's Encrypt Setup)
• manual => Provide your own certificate via separate key and cert files. (Docs: Bring Your Own Certificates)
  • 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.
• custom => Provide your own certificate as a single file containing both the private key and full certificate chain. (Docs: None)
• self-signed => Provide your own self-signed certificate files. Expects a self-signed CA cert for verification. Use only for local testing of your setup. (Docs: 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.

• 0 => (not recommended) Mail address spoofing allowed. Any logged in user may create email messages with a forged sender address.
• 1 => 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 DMS acts as forwarder. See postsrsd for further explanation.

• 0 => Disabled
• 1 => Enabled

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

• empty => 7 days

POSTFIX_DAGENT

Configure Postfix virtual_transport to deliver mail to a different LMTP client (default is a unix socket to dovecot).

Provide any valid URI. Examples:

• empty => lmtp:unix:/var/run/dovecot/lmtp (default, configured in Postfix main.cf)
• lmtp:unix:private/dovecot-lmtp (use socket)
• lmtps:inet:<host>:<port> (secure lmtp with starttls)
• lmtp:<kopano-host>:2003 (use kopano as mailstore)

Set the mailbox size limit for all users. If set to zero, the size will be unlimited (default).

• empty => 0 (no limit)

ENABLE_QUOTAS

• 1 => Dovecot quota is enabled
• 0 => Dovecot quota is disabled

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_REJECT_UNKNOWN_CLIENT_HOSTNAME

If enabled, employs reject_unknown_client_hostname to sender restrictions in Postfix's configuration.

MOVE_SPAM_TO_JUNK

When enabled, e-mails marked with the

1. X-Spam: Yes header added by Rspamd
2. X-Spam-Flag: YES header added by SpamAssassin (requires SPAMASSASSIN_SPAM_TO_INBOX=1)

will be automatically moved to the Junk folder (with the help of a Sieve script).

• 0 => Spam messages will be delivered in the mailbox.
• 1 => Spam messages will be delivered in the Junk folder.

Rspamd

ENABLE_RSPAMD

Enable or disable Rspamd.

!!! warning "Current State"

Rspamd-support is under active development. Be aware that changes can happen at any time. To get more information, see [the detailed documentation page for Rspamd][docs-rspamd].

• 0 => disabled
• 1 => enabled

ENABLE_RSPAMD_REDIS

Explicit control over running a Redis instance within the container. By default, this value will match what is set for ENABLE_RSPAMD.

The purpose of this setting is to opt-out of starting an internal Redis instance when enabling Rspamd, replacing it with your own external instance.

??? note "Configuring Rspamd for an external Redis instance"

You will need to [provide configuration][rspamd-redis-config] at `/etc/rspamd/local.d/redis.conf` similar to:

```
servers = "redis.example.test:6379";
expand_keys = true;
```

• 0 => Disabled
• 1 => Enabled

RSPAMD_GREYLISTING

Controls whether the Rspamd Greylisting module is enabled. This module can further assist in avoiding spam emails by greylisting e-mails with a certain spam score.

• 0 => Disabled
• 1 => Enabled

RSPAMD_LEARN

When enabled,

1. the "autolearning" feature is turned on;
2. the Bayes classifier will be trained when moving mails from or to the Junk folder (with the help of Sieve scripts).

!!! warning "Attention"

As of now, the spam learning database is global (i.e. available to all users). If one user deliberately trains it with malicious data, then it will ruin your detection rate.

This feature is suitably only for users who can tell ham from spam and users that can be trusted.

• 0 => Disabled
• 1 => Enabled

RSPAMD_HFILTER

Can be used to enable or disable the Hfilter group module. This is used by DMS to adjust the HFILTER_HOSTNAME_UNKNOWN symbol, increasing it's default weight to act similar to Postfix's reject_unknown_client_hostname, without the need to outright reject a message.

• 0 => Disabled
• 1 => Enabled

RSPAMD_HFILTER_HOSTNAME_UNKNOWN_SCORE

Can be used to control the score when the HFILTER_HOSTNAME_UNKNOWN symbol applies. A higher score is more punishing. Setting it to 15 (the default score for rejecting an e-mail) is equivalent to rejecting the email when the check fails.

Default: 6 (which corresponds to the add_header action)

Reports

PFLOGSUMM_TRIGGER

Enables regular Postfix log summary ("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 Postfix log summary reports.

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

PFLOGSUMM_SENDER

Sender address (FROM) for pflogsumm reports (if Postfix log summary reports are enabled).

• not set => Use REPORT_SENDER
• => 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)

LOGWATCH_SENDER

Sender address (FROM) for logwatch reports if logwatch reports are enabled.

• not set => Use REPORT_SENDER
• => Specify the sender address

REPORT_RECIPIENT

Defines who receives reports (if they are enabled).

• empty => Use POSTMASTER_ADDRESS
• => Specify the recipient address

REPORT_SENDER

Defines who sends reports (if they are enabled).

• empty => mailserver-report@<YOUR DOMAIN>
• => Specify the sender address

LOGROTATE_INTERVAL

Changes the interval in which log files are rotated.

• weekly => Rotate log files weekly
• daily => Rotate log files daily
• monthly => Rotate log files monthly

!!! note

`LOGROTATE_INTERVAL` only manages `logrotate` within the container for services we manage internally.

The entire log output for the container is still available via `docker logs mailserver` (or your respective container name). If you want to configure external log rotation for that container output as well, : [Docker Logging Drivers](https://docs.docker.com/config/containers/logging/configure/).

By default, the logs are lost when the container is destroyed (eg: re-creating via `docker-compose down && docker-compose up -d`). To keep the logs, mount a volume (to `/var/log/mail/`).

!!! note

This variable can also determine the interval for Postfix's log summary reports, see [`PFLOGSUMM_TRIGGER`](#pflogsumm_trigger).

SpamAssassin

ENABLE_SPAMASSASSIN

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

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.

KAM is a 3rd party SpamAssassin ruleset, provided by the McGrail Foundation. If SpamAssassin is enabled, KAM can be used in addition to the default ruleset.

• 0 => KAM disabled
• 1 => KAM enabled

SA_TAG

• 2.0 => add spam info headers if at, or above that level

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

• 10.0 => triggers spam evasive actions

!!! note "This SpamAssassin setting needs ENABLE_SPAMASSASSIN=1"

By default, DMS 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. To inhibit this behaviour and deliver spam emails, set this to a very high value e.g. `100.0`.

If `ONE_DIR=1` (default) the location is `/var/mail-state/lib-amavis/virusmails/`, or if `ONE_DIR=0`: `/var/lib/amavis/virusmails/`. These paths are inside the docker container.

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.

This will uncomment the respective line in /etc/spamassasin/local.cf

Note: activate this only if you are confident in your bayes database for identifying spam.

SA_SHORTCIRCUIT_BAYES_HAM

• 1 => will activate SpamAssassin short circuiting for bayes ham detection

This will uncomment the respective line in /etc/spamassasin/local.cf

Note: activate this only if you are confident in your bayes database for identifying ham.
