# docker-postfix
 | 
			
		||||
Simple SMTP relay docker image.
 | 
			
		||||
Simple Postfix SMTP TLS relay docker image.Run it like this:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
### Build instructions
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Clone this repo and then:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
    cd docker-Postfix
 | 
			
		||||
    sudo docker build -t postfix .
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
You can also find a prebuilt docker image from [Docker Hub](https://registry.hub.docker.com/u/juanluisbaptiste/postfix/), which can be pulled from the Hub:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
    sudo docker pull juanluisbaptiste/postfix:latest
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
### How to run it
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
The following env variables need to be passed to the container:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
* `SMTP_SERVER` Server address of the SMTP server to use.
 | 
			
		||||
* `SMTP_USERNAME` Username to authenticate with.
 | 
			
		||||
* `SMTP_PASSWORD` Password of the SMTP user.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
To use this container from anywhere, the port 25 needs to be exposed to the docker host server:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
    docker run --rm --name postfix -p "25:25" -e SMTP_SERVER=smtp.bar.com -e SMTP_USERNAME=foo@bar.com -e SMTP_PASSWORD=XXXXXXXX postfix
 | 
			
		||||
    
 | 
			
		||||
If you are going to use this container from other docker containers then it's better to just publish the port:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
    docker run --rm --name postfix -P -e SMTP_SERVER=smtp.bar.com -e SMTP_USERNAME=foo@bar.com -e SMTP_PASSWORD=XXXXXXXX postfix

## A note about using gmail as a relay
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Since last year, Gmail by default (does not allow email clients that don't use OAUTH 2)[http://googleonlinesecurity.blogspot.co.uk/2014/04/new-security-measures-will-affect-older.html] 
 | 
			
		||||
for authentication (like Thunderbird or Outlook). First you need to enable access to "Less secure apps" on your 
 | 
			
		||||
[google settings](https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps). 
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Also take into account that email `From:` header will contain the email address of the account being used to 
 | 
			
		||||
authenticate against the Gmail SMTP server(SMTP_USERNAME), the one on the email will be ignored by Gmail.
