docker run --rm -t -i --env-file=.secret -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro --name=postfix eeacms/postfix
From the application container, running on the same docker host, one can set the SMTP server to the postfix container address.
Using the mount directive ```-v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro``` will make sure that the postfix container will share same timezone as the host, so that the emails have correct date and timestamps.
## Example usage
In the `example` folder, there is an example centos container than can be used to test connectivity.
cd example
docker build -t example .
docker run --rm -it --link=postfix:postfixcontainer example
docker run --rm -it -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro --link=postfix:postfixcontainer example
# from commandline:
$ mail test@example.com
