Changelog
v11.1.0
In this release the relay-host support saw significant internal refactoring in preparation for a future breaking change. Similar extensive restructuring through the codebase also occurred, where each PR provides more details. Care was taken to avoid breakage, but there may be some risk affecting unsupported third-party customizations which our test suite is unaware of.
Fixes
- Using Port 465 to authenticate with a relay-host no longer breaks the Amavis transport for Postfix (#2607)
- When mounting
/var/mail-state
, disabled services will no longer copy over data redundantly (#2608) - Amavis is now aware of new domains detected during Change Detection, no longer skipping virus and spam filtering (#2616)
setup.sh -c <container name>
no longer ignores<container name>
when more than 1docker-mailserver
container is running (#2622)
Improvements
- The Change Detector service will now only process relevant changes (#2615), in addition to now monitoring
postfix-sasl-password.cf
,postfix-relaymap.cf
, andpostfix-regexp.cf
(#2623) - For LDAP users that only need to support a single mail domain,
setup config dkim
should now detect the domain implicitly (#2620) - The container capability
SYS_PTRACE
is no longer necessary (#2624) - Added an example for configuring a basic container
healthcheck
command (#2625) - Postfix
main.cf
settingcompatibility_level
was set to2
during our startup scripts. This is now part of our default shippedmain.cf
config (#2597) - The Postfix
main.cf
override/extension support viapostfix-main.cf
has been improved to support multi-line values, instead of the previous single-line only support (#2598)
Deprecation Notice
-
SASL_PASSWD
ENV An old ENVSASL_PASSWD
has been around for supporting relay-host authentication, but since superceded by thepostfix-sasl-password.cf
config file. It will be removed in a future major release as detailed here. -
Platform Support - ARMv7 This is a very old platform, superceded by ARMv8 and newer with broad product availability around 2016 onwards. Support was introduced primarily for users the older generations of Raspberry Pi. ARM64 is the modern target for ARM devices.
If you require ARMv7 support, please let us know.
v11.0.0
Major Changes
- Internal logging has been refactored. The environment variable
DMS_DEBUG
has been replaced byLOG_LEVEL
to better control the verbosity of logs we output. The new logger is more structured and follows standard log conventions.LOG_LEVEL
can be set to:error
,warn
,info
(default),debug
andtrace
. iptables
has been replaced bynftables
. The Fail2Ban configuration was adjusted accordingly. If you useiptables
yourself (e.g. inuser-patches.sh
), make sure to update the scripts.PERMIT_DOCKER
has a new default value ofnone
. This change better secures Podman; to keep the old behaviour (adding the container IP address to Postfix'smynetworks
), usePERMIT_DOCKER=container
.
Minor Changes
- Many minor improvements were made (cleanup & refactoring). Please refer to the section below to get an overview over all improvements. Moreover, there was a lot of cleanup in the scripts and in the tests. The documentation was adjusted accordingly.
- New environment variables were added:
- SpamAssassin KAM was added with
ENABLE_SPAMASSASSIN_KAM
. - The
fail2ban
command was reworked and can now ban IP addresses as well. - There were a few small fixes, especially when it comes to bugs in scripts and service restart loops (no functionality changes, only fixes of existing functionality). When building an image from the Dockerfile - Installation of Postfix on modern Linux distributions should now always succeed.
- Some default values for environment values changed: these are mostly non-critical, please refer to #2428 and #2487.

v10.4.0
This release upgrades our base image from Debian 10 to Debian 11.
There is also an important regression fixed for SSL_TYPE=letsencrypt
users.
- [fix] A regression with
check-for-changes.sh
introduced inv10.3.0
affectedSSL_TYPE=letsencrypt
, preventing detection of cert renewals to restart services (unless usingacme.json
) #2326 - [improvement] Base image upgraded from Debian 10 Buster to Debian 11 Bullseye #2116
- Postfix upgraded from
3.4
to3.5
. Dovecot upgraded from2.3.4
to2.3.13
. Python 2 is no longer included in the image, Python 3 remains (more information). yescrypt
is now supported upstream as a password hash algorithm,docker-mailserver
continues to useSHA512-CRYPT
(more information).
- Postfix upgraded from
- [chore] Dovecot statistics service disabled #2292
v10.3.0
WARNING: This release had a small regression affecting the detection of changes for certificates provisioned in /etc/letsencrypt
with the config ENV SSL_TYPE=letsencrypt
, unless you use Traefik's acme.json
. If you rely on this functionality to restart Postfix and Dovecot when updating your cert files, this will not work and it is advised to upgrade to v10.4.0
or newer prior to renewal of your certificates.
- [fix] The Dovecot
userdb
will now additionally create "dummy" accounts for basic alias maps (alias maps to a single real account managed by Dovecot, relaying to external providers aren't affected) whenENABLE_QUOTAS=1
(default) as a workaround for Postfixquota-status
plugin querying Dovecot with inbound mail for a user, which Postfix uses to reject mail if quota has been exceeded (to avoid risk of blacklisting from spammers abusing backscatter) #2248- NOTE: If using aliases that map to another alias or multiple addresses, this remains a risk.
- [fix]
setup email list
command will no longer attempt to query Dovecot quota status whenENABLE_QUOTAS
is disabled #2264 - [fix]
SSL_DOMAIN
ENV should now work much more reliably #2274, #2278, #2279 - [fix] DKIM - Removed
refile:
(regex type) from KeyTable entry inopendkim.conf
, fixes validation error output fromopendkim-testkey
#2249 - [fix] DMARC - Removed quotes around the hostname value in
opendmarc.conf
. This avoids an authentication failure where an OpenDKIM header was previously ignored #2291 - [fix] When using
ONE_DIR=1
(default), thespool-postfix
folder now has the correct permissions carried over. This resolves some failures notably with sieve filters #2273 - [improvement] Warnings are now logged for ClamAV and SpamAssassin if they are enabled but Amavis is disabled (which is required for them to work correctly) #2251
- [improvement]
user-patches.sh
is now invoked viabash
to assist Kubernetes deployments withConfigMap
#2295
Internal
These changes are primarily internal and are only likely relevant to users that maintain their own modifications related to the changed files.
- [chore] Redundant config from Postfix
master.cf
has been removed, it should not affect any users as our images have not included any of the related processes #2272 - [refactor]
check-for-changes.sh
was carrying some duplicate code fromsetup-stack.sh
that was falling out of sync, they now share common code #2260 - [refactor]
acme.json
extraction was refactored into a CLI utility and updated to Python 3 (required for future upgrade to Debian 11 Bullseye base image) #2274 - [refactor] As part of the Traefik
acme.json
andSSL_DOMAIN
work, logic forSSL_TYPE=letsencrypt
was also revised #2278 - [improvement] Some minor tweaks to how we derive the internal
HOSTNAME
andDOMAINNAME
from user configuredhostname
anddomainname
settings #2280
v10.2.0
- You no longer need to maintain a copy of
setup.sh
matching your version release from v10.2 ofdocker-mailserver
onwards. Version specific functionality ofsetup.sh
has moved into the container itself, whilesetup.sh
remains as a convenient wrapper to:docker exec -it <container name> setup <command>
. ONE_DIR
now defaults to enabled (1
).- For anyone relying on internal location of certificates (internal copy of mounted files at startup), the Postfix and Dovecot location of
/etc/postfix/ssl
has changed to/etc/dms/tls
. This may affect any third-partyuser-patches.sh
scripts that depended on this path to update certs. - The Let's Encrypt section of our SSL / TLS docs has been brought up to date.
Bigger scripts-related improvements
- [scripts] update
setup.sh
to now use a running container first if one exists #2134 - [scripts] included
setup.sh
functionality inside the container to be version independent again #2174 - [scripts]
HOSTNAME
andDOMAINNAME
setup improved #2175 - [scripts]
delmailuser
can now delete mailboxed without TLD #2172 - [scripts] properly exit on failure (#2199 in conjunction with #2196)
- [scripts] make
setup.sh
completely non-interactive for Podman users #2201
Security
Some internal refactoring and fixes happened this release cycle in #2196:
- [improve] The Postfix and Dovecot location of
/etc/postfix/ssl
has changed to/etc/dms/tls
- [improve] An invalid
SSL_TYPE
or a valid value with an invalid configuration will now panic, exiting the container and emitting a fatal error to the logs - [fix] An unconfigured/empty
SSL_TYPE
ENV now correctly disables SSL support for Dovecot and general Postfix configurations. A reminder that this is unsupported officially, and is only intended for tests and troubleshooting. Use only a validSSL_TYPE
(letsencrypt
andmanual
are recommended) for production deployments - [fix]
TLS_LEVEL=intermediate
now modifies the system (container)openssl.cnf
config to set the minimum protocol to TLS 1.0 (from 1.2) and cipher-suite support toDEFAULT@SECLEVEL=1
(from2
). This change is required for Dovecot in upcoming Debian Bullseye upgrade, to be compatible with theTLS_LEVEL=intermediate
cipher-suite profile. It may affect other software within the container that relies on this openssl config, should you extend the Docker image #2193 - [fix] Provide DH parameters (default: RFC 7919 group
ffdhe406.pem
) at build-time, instead of during startup. Custom DH parameters regardless ofONE_DIR
are now only detected when mounted to/tmp/docker-mailserver/dhparams.pem
#2192 - [docs] Revise the Let's Encrypt section of our SSL / TLS docs #2209
Miscellaneous small additions and changes
- [ci] improved caching #2197
- [ci] refactored spam tests and introduced common container setup template #2198
- [fix] update Fail2Ban wrapper to propagate errors to user #2170
- [fix] Dockerfile
sed
's are now checked #2158 - [general] Updated default value of
ONE_DIR
to1
#2148 - [docs] updated Kubernetes documentation #2111
- [docs] introduced dedicated Podman documentation #2179
- [docs] miscellaneous documentation improvements
- [misc] introduced GitHub issue forms for issue templates #2160
- [misc] Removed the internal
mkcert.sh
script for Dovecot as it is no longer needed #2196

- [feat] Added dovecot-fts-xapian (#2064)
- [security] Switch GPG keyserver (#2051)
v10.0.0
This release improves on 9.1.0
in many aspect, including general fixes, Fail2Ban, LDAP and documentation. This release contains breaking changes.
- [general] Fixed many prose errors (spelling, grammar, indentation).
- [general] Documentation is better integrated into the development process and it's visibility within the project increased (#1878).
- [general] Added
stop_grace_period:
to example Compose file and supervisord (#1896 #1945) - [general]
./setup.sh email list
was enhanced, now showing information neatly (#1898) - [general] Added update check and notification (#1976, #1951)
- [general] Moved environment variables to the documentation and improvements (#1948, #1947, #1931)
- [security] Major Fail2Ban improvements (cleanup, update and breaking changes, see below)
- [fix]
./setup.sh email del ...
now works properly - [code] Added color variables to
setup.sh
and improved the script as a whole (#1879, #1886) - [ldap] Added
LDAP_QUERY_FILTER_SENDERS
(#1902) - [ldap] Use dovecots LDAP
uris
connect option instead ofhosts
(#1901) - [ldap] Complete rework of LDAP documentation (#1921)
- [docs] PRs that contain changes to docs will now be commented with a preview link (#1988)
Breaking Changes
- [security] Fail2Ban adjustments:
- Fail2ban v0.11.2 is now used (#1965).
- The previous F2B config (from an old Debian release) has been replaced with the latest default config for F2B shipped by Debian 10.
- The new default blocktype is now
DROP
, notREJECT
(#1914). - A ban now applies to all ports (
iptables-allports
), not just the ones that were "attacked" (#1914). - Fail2ban 0.11 is totally compatible to 0.10, but the database got some new tables and fields (auto-converted during the first start), so once updated to DMS 10.0.0, you have to remove the database
mailstate:/lib-fail2ban/fail2ban.sqlite3
if you would need to downgrade to DMS 9.1.0 for some reason.
- [ldap] Removed
SASLAUTHD_LDAP_SSL
. Instead provide a protocol inSASLAUTHD_LDAP_SERVER
and adjustSASLAUTHD_LDAP_
default values (#1989). - [general] Removed
stable
release tag (#1975):- Scheduled builds are now based off
edge
. - Instead of
stable
, please use the latest version tag available (or thelatest
tag). - The
stable
image tag will be removed from DockerHub in the near future.
- Scheduled builds are now based off
- [setup] Removed
./setup config ssl
command (deprecated since v9).SSL_TYPE=self-signed
remains supported however. (dc8f49de
, #2021)
v9.1.0
This release marks the breakpoint where the wiki was transferred to a reworked documentation
- [feat] Introduce ENABLE_AMAVIS env (#1866)
- [docs] Move wiki to gh-pages (#1826) - Special thanks to @polarathene 👨🏻💻
- You can edit the docs now directly with your code changes
- Documentation is now versioned related to docker image versions and viewable here: https://docker-mailserver.github.io/docker-mailserver/edge/
v9.0.1
A small update on the notification function which was made more stable as well as minor fixes.
- [fix]
_notify
cannot fail anymore - non-zero returns lead to unintended behavior in the past whenDMS_DEBUG
was not set or0
- [refactor]
check-for-changes.sh
now uses_notify
v9.0.0
- [feat] Support extra
user_attributes
in accounts configuration (#1792) - [feat] Add possibility to use a custom dkim selector (#1811)
- [feat] TLS: Dual (aka hybrid) certificate support! (eg ECDSA certificate with an RSA fallback for broader compatibility) (#1801).
- This feature is presently only for
SSL_TYPE=manual
, all you need to do is provide your fallback certificate to theSSL_ALT_CERT_PATH
andSSL_ALT_KEY_PATH
ENV vars, just like your primary certificate would be setup for manual mode.
- This feature is presently only for
- [security] TLS: You can now use ECDSA certificates! (#1802)
- Warning: ECDSA may not be supported by legacy systems (most pre-2014). You can provide an RSA certificate as a fallback.
- [fix] TLS: For some docker-compose setups when restarting the docker-mailserver container, internal config state may have been persisted despite making changes that should reconfigure TLS (eg changing
SSL_TYPE
or replacing the certificate file) (#1801). - [refactor] Split
start-mailserver.sh
(#1820) - [fix] Linting now uses local path to remove the sudo dependency (#1831).
Breaking Changes
- [security] TLS:
TLS_LEVEL=modern
has changed the server-side preference order to 128-bit before 256-bit encryption (#1802).- NOTE: This is still very secure but may result in misleading lower scores/grades from security audit websites.
- [security] TLS:
TLS_LEVEL=modern
removed support for AES-CBC cipher suites and follows best practices by supporting only AEAD cipher suites (#1802).- NOTE: As TLS 1.2 is the minimum required for modern already, AEAD cipher suites should already be supported and preferred.
- [security] TLS:
TLS_LEVEL=intermediate
has removed support for cipher suites using RSA for key exchange (only available with an RSA certificate) (#1802).- NOTE: This only affects Dovecot which supported 5 extra cipher suites using AES-CBC and AES-GCM. Your users MUA clients should be unaffected, preferring ECDHE or DHE for key exchange.
- [refactor] Complete refactoring of opendkim script (#1812).
- NOTE: Use
./setup.sh config dkim help
to see the new syntax.
- NOTE: Use
v8.0.1
This release is a hotfix for #1781.
- [spam]
bl.spamcop.net
was removed from the list of spam lists since the domain expired and became unusable
