## Install Mailman 3

The idea is to install Mailman 3 in ad docker container. Also I want to install Postfix in a container. All the mail which will send and receive should handled in a docker container. The reason is, that on the server only applications in a docker environment working. There is no MTA installed. On the server are Discourse as forum, wikijs, portainer, watchtower, homepage, and the NGINX Proxy Manager installed. At next I need Mailman 3.

I don't know how to install and run Postfix for Mailman in a docker environment.

Here is my first try. I can visit the site lists.example.com, but I can not set the Admin password. I think the reason is, that the MTA not working.

I have a gitlab repo. If you like please look here: https://gitlab.com/joklein/mailman

    networks:
      mailman:
        ipv4_address: 172.19.199.3

  database:

    restart: unless-stopped

      POSTGRES_DB: mailmandb
      POSTGRES_USER: mailman

    networks:
      mailman:

#### Build the API Key für Hyperkitty and SECRET_KEY

You can build a key with pwgen -s 128

#### Make some directorys

mkdir -p /opt/mailman/core
mkdir -p /opt/mailman/web
mkdir -p /opt/mailman/mailman-web-data/static

#### Make a file in /opt/mailman/web/settings_local.py

EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend'
EMAIL_HOST = '172.19.199.1'
EMAIL_PORT = 25
USE_SSL = False
DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL = "<E-MAIL>"
SERVER_EMAIL = "<E-MAIL>"

Change the <E-MAIL> with your server address. For example mailman@lists.example.com

So that Postfix also sends your e-mails, you create the file /opt/mailman/core/mailman-extra.cfg with the following content:

[mta]
incoming: mailman.mta.postfix.LMTP
outgoing: mailman.mta.deliver.deliver
lmtp_host: 172.19.199.2
lmtp_port: 8024
smtp_host: 172.19.199.1
smtp_port: 25
configuration: /etc/postfix-mailman.cfg

Now you are ready to start your container:

sudo su -
cd /root/mailman-docker
docker-compose up -d

#### Check the mailman images

docker ps -a
