I have tried to implement postfix in dockerfile, and it failed when i tried to send a mail saying (address resolved failure). Do i need to reconfigure the docker network or just the postfix main configuration?
Sending Email:
sendmail to@email.com
From: from@email.com
Subject: theSubject
This is the message
.
Output error:
postfix/error[573]: 322CC760259: to=<NEXTRCPT NOT UPDATED>, orig_to=<email@gmail.com>, relay=none, delay=15, delays=15/0/0/0.1, dsn=4.3.0, status=deferred (address resolver failure)

You can bring the container our of the docker bridge network and instead use the host's network by adding
--network="host"
as an option todocker run .....
instead of mapping ports with the-p
argument.For docker-compose you can add
network_mode: "host"
instead ofports:
&networks:
for that specific service.As an example when I run PHP containers on my local/dev environments.
Docker CLI
docker run --rm --network="host" -v $(pwd):/app MyVendor/phpfpm71 my_command
Docker Compose:
