Dockerized SMTP/IMAP server for development
IMAP server for debugging.
IMPORTANT: This image is ONLY for developing/debugging proposes
This docker image is based on https://github.com/tomav/docker-mailserver If you look for a docker image for production environment, then go here: https://hub.docker.com/r/tvial/docker-mailserver/
This image is even simpler than tvial
docker image. Includes only
Postfix (SMTP) and Dovecot (IMAP) servers with one catchall mailbox
[email protected]
for all emails. So, it's very useful for debugging. Optionally, you can define another normal mailbox.
Every email received via SMTP will be delivered locally to [email protected]
, so it's safe for testing a web application sending emails with a production list of emails.
Using your favorite email client you can connect via IMAP protocol to see emails like original recipient would received them
cp docker-compose.yml.dist docker-compose.yml
Edit docker-compose.yml
for set these environment variables:
localdomain.test
)docker-compose up
Configure your email client with these parameters and test it sending any email to any email address
