This project is inspired on MailAD-Docker, that is also based on Mailad.
This is the docker version with a DB as a backend instead of a domain controler LDAP we have a telegram group to discuss the development, feel free to join.
This one is a simplificatiom of MailAD, there are some features missing:
- Automatic groups from AD, there is no AD, so use lists on PostfixAdmin
- Others [will be filled...]
To create a realy dynamic setup we split the mail server in services:
- MTA (Mail Transport Agent) this is the Postfix field, basically the reception and dispatching of mails to and form the mail server/users.
- MDA (Mail Delivery Agent) This is the Dovecot field, this has to do with the users checking his mails from the mailbox, quotas, etc.
- AMAVIS (Advanced filtering), it comprises attachments, anti-virus, anti-spam, etc.
- ClamAV AV scanning solution
- Postgres DB this is the database lo hold the users data.
- PostfixAdmin This is a simple Web Management interface
- MUA This is the mail user agent, aka: Webmail provided by Snappy Mail
- Cron This has to deal with scheduled tasks, and maybe: backups, cleanups, statistics, etc.
Follow the links for each service to get details for each docker image.
Warning!: Under no cirscuntance change the name of the hostnames, it will break the setup!!!
