Description

Is it possible to run this in one (or more) Docker containers? I'd really like to know.

I suppose I could try to write a docker-compose file but my knowledge of Docker, networking, email standards, etc are not up to the task. So I'd feel more comfortable if someone more knowledgeable could pick up this task.

Contributor guide
