Postfix Mail Relay

Simple SMTP relay, originally based on alterrebe/docker-mail-relay, but has been rewritten since.

Description

The container provides a simple SMTP relay for environments like Amazon VPC where you may have private servers with no Internet connection and therefore with no access to external mail relays (e.g. Amazon SES, SendGrid and others). You need to supply the container with your external mail relay address and credentials. The image is tested with Amazon SES, Sendgrid, Gmail and Mandrill

Changes since alterrebe/docker-mail-relay

• Uses alpine image instead of ubuntu.
• Uses envsubst for templating instead of j2cli.
• All output goes to stdout and stderr including maillog.
• Included superviserd event watcher which will exit the supervisord process if one of the monitored processes dies unexpectedly.
• Doesn't use TLS on smtpd side.
• And other changes to make the image as KISS as possible

Changed in version 1.3.0

• Remove rsyslog dependancy
• Remove supervisor
• Even more KISS, just single script used to configure and run postfix
