Postfix Mail Relay

Contains:

  • Postfix, running in a simple relay mode
  • RSyslog

Processes are managed by supervisord, including cronjobs

The container provides a simple proxy relay for local environments where you can have private servers without an Internet connection and, therefore, without access to external mail retransmissions. You must provide the container with your external mail relay address and your credentials. The configuration is done on Office 365, but it can work with any type of server.

Exports

  • Postfix on 25

  • EXT_RELAY_HOST=smtp.office365.com: External relay DNS name

  • SMTP_PASSWORD=: Password to connect to the external relay (required, otherwise the container fails to start)
