Things to do outside of a docker container.

  1. set the FQDN sudo hostnamectl set-hostname <your-fqdn> A common FQDN for a mail server is mail.yourdomain.com.

  2. Make sure the hosts date is set to the correct time for it's timezone, and sync it with a time server. Also do this for docker containers

2a) make sure you are using UTC on the server time. rm /etc/localtime && ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/UTC /etc/localtime
