Docker-mailserver: Error when starting mail server.

[aks2687]

Hi
Unable to send/receive the mails from one account to another account. I am able to create new accounts and authenticate them against the mail server.

Following is the message seen in the logs :
mail | Aug 24 14:07:29 test postfix/qmgr[1313]: 4311BB2C: [email protected], size=521, nrcpt=1 (queue active)
mail | Aug 24 14:07:29 test postfix/smtpd[1330]: disconnect from unknown[172.18.0.1]
mail | Aug 24 14:07:29 test postfix/smtp[1336]: connect to 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:10024: Connection refused
mail | Aug 24 14:07:29 test postfix/smtp[1336]: 4311BB2C: [email protected], relay=none, delay=20, delays=20/0/0/0, dsn=4.4.1, status=deferred (connect to 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:10024: Connection refused)

Also when starting the server, I see the following error :
starting amavisd: Error in config file "/etc/amavis/conf.d/05-domain_id": Insecure directory in $ENV{PATH} while running with -T switch at /etc/amavis/conf.d/05-domain_id line 7.
mail | (failed).

I feel there is some configuration missing. I am new to docker, any help would be appreciated.
I am using docker-compose to run the mail server.

Hi @aks2687, perhaps it's related to https://github.com/tomav/docker-mailserver/pull/270

I tried setting the DOCKER_PERMIT.
If I am correct after setting the above option, I should see the following logs based on the DOCKER_PERMIT setting, when starting the mail server :
For host: echo "Adding $container_network/16 to my networks"
For network: echo "Adding docker network in my networks"

But I do not see any of the above logs. I did a pull for the latest docker image & using the following docker-compose file :
version: '2'

services:
mail:
image: tvial/docker-mailserver:v2
hostname: mail
domainname: domain.com
container_name: mail
ports:
- "25:25"
- "143:143"
- "587:587"
- "993:993"
- "110:110"
- "995:995"
volumes:
- ./maildata:/var/mail
- ./config/:/tmp/docker-mailserver/
environment:
- PERMIT_DOCKER=network
- ENABLE_POP3=1

volumes:
maildata:
driver: local

Apart from the above setting in the docker-compose file, do I need to set anything else also ?

I had the same problem, i found that amavisd was not running for unknown reason. i stopped/removed the mail container and then started it again, it worked then.

You can check that by entering to the container and running netstat -tap you should see a service listening to 10024 if it was running.

@aks2687 you still have the problem? All services are running?
Let is know.
Thank you.

[tomav]

@aks2687 reopen when you other information to provide. We'll be happy to help.

I had the same problem, it was impossible to send/receive emails:

postfix/error[14343]: 535AAAF6: to=<[email protected]>, relay=none, delay=10, delays=10/0.05/0/0.01, dsn=4.4.1, status=deferred (delivery temporarily suspended: connect to 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:10024: Connection refused)

Switching to supervisord could be an option for better stability.

[tomav]

@viossat the problem with amavis not running?
If yes, I do agree, supervisord may be an interesting option.
Feel free to submit a PR with tests. I'll be happy to merge it.
