Check go to the web interface (http://conainer_ip:80), get the salts, and put them in the salts file.
Everything should be up and running.
To backup, just run the ./scripts/pre-backup in your folder and you should be good!
Run the add_domain.sh script inside the postix container, and configure your DNS, you should be fine!
You can find a script here
If you have any issue (something not working, mail marked as spam, missing doc), please do report an issue here! Thanks
This system is used in production at IndieHosters so it is maintained. If you use it, please tell us, and we'll be really happy to update this README!
You can help us by:

- postfix/dovecot - try to sync install instructions with mailinabox
Heavily inspired by mail-in-a-box! Thanks to the amazing work they produced. It is the best up to date how to for email hosting out there :)
