- 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) usePERMIT_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.

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
- empty => postmaster@domain.com
- => Specify the 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.

- mdbox ==> (experimental) uses Dovecot high-performance mailbox format, multiple messages per file and multiple files per box

Reports
PFLOGSUMM_TRIGGER
Enables regular pflogsumm mail reports.
- not set => No report

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.

- 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_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

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
