Docker-mailserver: Cannot start server

[alecsandruchirosca]

Dear all,

I tried for several hours to get this image working and still have the same error:

The docker-mailserver directory contains the git clone of the project. Using the suggested image ( tvial/docker-mailserver:latest) yelds the same results.

Can you please help me start this image?

BR,
Alecs

Hi @alecsandruchirosca, to have more detail, use DMS_DEBUG=1, restart container and paste the console log.

With DMS_DEBUG I got the above log (docker log mail ).

BR,

Hi, i have exact the same failure.

if i downgrade to docker-mailserver 2.2, then opendkim will be started, but then the error comes during start of amavis.

Output is then:
...
Starting amavisfalse
[ FAILED ] Error: Please fix your configuration. Exiting...

3 other error to solve:

May  6 12:36:14 mail postgrey[3623]: FATAL: ERROR: can't open lock file: /var/lib/postgrey/postgrey.lock#012

May  6 12:36:15 mail postfix[4414]: Postfix is running with backwards-compatible default settings
May  6 12:36:15 mail postfix[4414]: See http://www.postfix.org/COMPATIBILITY_README.html for details
May  6 12:36:15 mail postfix[4414]: To disable backwards compatibility use "postconf compatibility_level=2" and "postfix reload"

May  6 12:36:15 mail postfix/master[4451]: fatal: open lock file /var/lib/postfix/master.lock: cannot create file exclusively: Permission denied

Tried manually (and had to disable ONE_DIRbut after that it worked well).
No idea yet yo a long term patch. Ideas welcome.

Maybe this also relates to #545.

Although it works for me just well, I also receive backwards-compatibility warnings in my logs.

Will have a look at this later.

@alecsandruchirosca you had this error because no user account has been provided:
'config/docker-mailserver/postfix-accounts.cf' is not provided. No mail account created. is debug log.
I reproduced this issue today, I'll add a fix.
