Accounts
Adding a New Account
Users (email accounts) are managed in /tmp/docker-mailserver/postfix-accounts.cf
. The best way to manage accounts is to use the reliable setup.sh
script. Or you may directly add the full email address and its encrypted password, separated by a pipe:
user1@example.com|{SHA512-CRYPT}$6$2YpW1nYtPBs2yLYS$z.5PGH1OEzsHHNhl3gJrc3D.YMZkvKw/vp.r5WIiwya6z7P/CQ9GDEJDr2G2V0cAfjDFeAQPUoopsuWPXLk3u1
user2@not-example.com|{SHA512-CRYPT}$6$2YpW1nYtPBs2yLYS$z.5PGH1OEzsHHNhl3gJrc3D.YMZkvKw/vp.r5WIiwya6z7P/CQ9GDEJDr2G2V0cAfjDFeAQPUoopsuWPXLk3u1
In the example above, we've added 2 mail accounts for 2 different domains. Consequently, the mail-server will automatically be configured for multi-domains. Therefore, to generate a new mail account data, directly from your docker host, you could for example run the following:
docker run --rm \
-e MAIL_USER=user1@example.com \
-e MAIL_PASS=mypassword \
-it mailserver/docker-mailserver:latest \
/bin/sh -c 'echo "$MAIL_USER|$(doveadm pw -s SHA512-CRYPT -u $MAIL_USER -p $MAIL_PASS)"' >> docker-data/dms/config/postfix-accounts.cf
You will then be asked for a password, and be given back the data for a new account entry, as text. To actually add this new account, just copy all the output text in docker-data/dms/config/postfix-accounts.cf
file of your running container.
Note
doveadm pw
command lets you choose between several encryption schemes for the password.
Use doveadm pw -l
to get a list of the currently supported encryption schemes.
Note
Changes to the accounts list require a restart of the container, using supervisord
. See #552.
Notes
imap-quota
is enabled and allow clients to query their mailbox usage.- When the mailbox is deleted, the quota directive is deleted as well.
- Dovecot quotas support LDAP, but it's not implemented (PRs are welcome!).
