I have postfix configured to work on the local docker host such that a test via swaks --to destination@domain.tld --from admin@hostdomain.tld --server localhost -tls delivers as expected. It uses port 25 and sends out the email with no problem at all. So I’m lead to the question: how do I set up ap…

Just to document here, the following was sufficient (all other SMTP lines commented out) to deliver to the docker host’s smtp server if no auth is necessary: DISCOURSE_SMTP_ADDRESS: 172.17.0.1 DISCOURSE_SMTP_PORT: 25

  DISCOURSE_SMTP_ADDRESS: 172.17.0.1
  DISCOURSE_SMTP_PORT: 25
