docker-made-special-mail
|
|
==========
|
|
|
|
Based on https://github.com/lava/dockermail
|
|
|
|
A secure, minimal-configuration mail server in a docker container.
|
|
This repository is tailored to small private servers, where you own a domain and want to host your own mail.
|
|
|
|
This container uses postfix as MTA and dovecot as IMAP server.
|
|
All incoming mail to your domains is accepted.
|
|
For outgoing mail, only authenticated (logged in with username and password) clients can send messages via STARTTLS.
|
|
|
|
SPAM stuff
|
|
=====
|
|
Outgoing mail is signed by OpenDKIM, you need to generate a key and set up your domain records (see step 5).
|
|
You should add PTR record to your IP (aka reverse DNS) which is done by your server provider.
|
|
And finally, generate and add an SPF record to your domain, search for instructions on this - there are a few generator site around and the setup steps depend on your domain name provider.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Setup
|
|
=====
|
|
Create 2 folders: one for mail configuration (`/opt/dockermail/settings`), another for mail storage (`/opt/dockermail/vmail`).
|
|
Use the the example config files in `config/example` of this repo.
|
|
|
|
1. Add all domains you want to receive mail for to the file `/opt/dockermail/settings/domains`, like this:
|
|
|
|
example.org
|
|
example.net
|
|
|
|
2. Add user aliases to the file `/opt/dockermail/settings/aliases`, like
|
|
|
|
johndoe@example.org john.doe@example.org
|
|
john.doe@example.org john.doe@example.org
|
|
admin@forum.example.org forum-admin@example.org
|
|
@example.net catch-all@example.net
|
|
|
|
An IMAP mail account is created for each entry on the right hand side.
|
|
Every mail sent to one of the addresses in the left column will be delivered to the corresponding account in the right column.
|
|
|
|
3. Add user passwords to the file `/opt/dockermail/settings/passwords` like this
|
|
|
|
john.doe@example.org:{PLAIN}password123
|
|
admin@example.org:{SHA256-CRYPT}$5$ojXGqoxOAygN91er$VQD/8dDyCYOaLl2yLJlRFXgl.NSrB3seZGXBRMdZAr6
|
|
|
|
To get the hash values, you can either install dovecot locally or use `docker exec -it dockermail bash` to attach to the running container (step 7) and run `doveadm pw -s <scheme-name>` inside.
|
|
|
|
4. Change the hostname in file `/opt/dockermail/settings/myhostname` to the correct fully qualified domain of your server.
|
|
|
|
5. Add DKIM settings files: `/opt/dockermail/settings/opendkim.conf` and `/opt/dockermail/settings/mail.private`
|
|
See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Postfix/DKIM on the info about these settings.
|
|
You will need to generate your own `mail.private` key and set up your domain records, the `opendkim.conf` from `config/example`
|
|
is ready to use.
|
|
|
|
6. Build container
|
|
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
7. Run container and map ports 25 and 143 from the host to the container.
|
|
To store your mail outside the container, map `/opt/dockermail/vmail/` to
|
|
a directory on your host. (This is recommended, otherwise
|
|
you have to remember to backup your mail when you want to restart the container)
|
|
|
|
`docker run -name dockermail -d -p 25:25 -p 587:587 -p 143:143 -v /opt/dockermail/settings:/mail_settings -v /opt/dockermail/vmail:/vmail dockermail_made_special/2.11.1`
|
|
|
|
8. Enjoy!

TODO
|
|
=====
|
|
1. Split out DKIM into a seperate container, which can be linked in to postfix.
|
|
2. Add ability to plug other components from linked containers (SPAM filters, Autoresponders etc)
|
|
3. Provider an easy way to compose these into a working mail system.
