# Docker Mailserver

This guide installs docker-mailserver with SSL/TLS for secure incoming and outgoing mail. Below each step includes explanations of what it accomplishes.
|
||||
|
||||
## Step 1: Create project directory
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
mkdir docker-mailserver
|
||||
cd docker-mailserver
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Step 2: Create SSL Certificates
|
||||
If your mail server domain is publicly accessible, use Certbot to obtain trusted SSL certificates for free.
|
||||
### use Let's Encrypt
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sudo certbot certonly --manual --preferred-challenges dns -d mail.jonasjones.dev
|
||||
```
|
||||
Now, add a TXT DNS-Record as indicated by the instructions in the terminal, then hit enter.
|
||||
|
||||
This creates certificates typically in /etc/letsencrypt/live/mail.example.com/:
|
||||
|
||||
- `fullchain.pem` — full certificate chain
|
||||
|
||||
- `privkey.pem` — private key
|
||||
|
||||
Create the directory to put the certificates in (inside the mailserver directory):
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
mkdir config
|
||||
mkdir config/ssl
|
||||
```
|
||||
Now You can copy the certificates into the directory:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sudo cp /etc/letsencrypt/live/mail.example.com/fullchain.pem config/ssl/
|
||||
sudo cp /etc/letsencrypt/live/mail.example.com/privkey.pem config/ssl/
|
||||
|
||||
## Step 3: Create docker-compose.yml
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
version: '3.8'
|
||||
|
||||
services:
|
||||
mailserver:
|
||||
image: mailserver/docker-mailserver:latest
|
||||
hostname: mail
|
||||
domainname: example.com
|
||||
container_name: mailserver
|
||||
ports:
|
||||
- "25:25" # SMTP
|
||||
- "143:143" # IMAP
|
||||
- "587:587" # Submission (SMTP with STARTTLS)
|
||||
- "993:993" # IMAPS (IMAP over SSL)
|
||||
volumes:
|
||||
- maildata:/var/mail
|
||||
- mailstate:/var/mail-state
|
||||
- ./config/:/tmp/docker-mailserver/
|
||||
- ./config/ssl/:/etc/letsencrypt/live/mail.example.com/:ro
|
||||
environment:
|
||||
- ENABLE_SPAMASSASSIN=1
|
||||
- ENABLE_CLAMAV=1
|
||||
- ENABLE_FAIL2BAN=1
|
||||
- ENABLE_POSTGREY=1
|
||||
- ONE_DIR=1
|
||||
- DMS_DEBUG=0
|
||||
- SSL_TYPE=manual
|
||||
- SSL_CERT_PATH=/etc/letsencrypt/live/mail.example.com/mail.example.com.crt
|
||||
- SSL_KEY_PATH=/etc/letsencrypt/live/mail.example.com/mail.example.com.key
|
||||
- SSL_DHPARAM_PATH=/etc/letsencrypt/live/mail.example.com/dhparam.pem # Optional
|
||||
restart: always
|
||||
|
||||
volumes:
|
||||
maildata:
|
||||
mailstate:
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Step 4: Add DH-Parmeters (recommended)
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openssl dhparam -out ./config/ssl/dhparam.pem 2048
|
||||
```
|
||||
DH parameters strengthen SSL security by enabling perfect forward secrecy during key exchange. Generating your own DH parameters helps prevent some cryptographic attacks.
|
||||
|
||||
## Step 5: Start Container
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
docker-compose up -d
|
||||
```
|
||||
The logs will show errors about there having to be at least one mail account, this one will be created in the next step
|
||||
|
||||
## Step 6: Create Mail Account
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
docker exec -it mailserver setup email add user@example.com password
|
||||
```
|
||||
OR
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
docker exec -it mailserver setup email add user@example.com
|
||||
```
|
||||
If You don't want the password to be saved in your command history. You will be prompted for a password right after hitting enter
|
||||
|
||||
## Step 7: Verify SSL/TLS
|
||||
```
|
||||
openssl s_client -connect mail.example.com:993
|
||||
openssl s_client -starttls smtp -connect mail.example.com:587
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Step 8: Add Email Aliases
|
||||
First, create the alias file:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
nano config/postfix-virtual.cf
|
||||
```
|
||||
Now You have multiple options:
|
||||
- Single Email alias:
|
||||
```text
|
||||
admin@example.com me@example.com
|
||||
```
|
||||
- Catch-All alias
|
||||
```text
|
||||
@example.com me@example.com
|
||||
```
|
||||
The file can contain multiple aliases, one per line
|
||||
|
||||
Now add the following Env variable to the docker-compose file if not already set:
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
environment:
|
||||
- ENABLE_POSTFIX_VIRTUAL_TRANSPORT=1
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Finally, restart the docker container:
|
||||
```
|
||||
docker-compose up -d
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
