Yes, since postfix-3.4 you could start postfix with "postfix start-fg"
If you also set "maillog_file = /dev/stdout" in main.cf, any log will go to
stdout which is the preferred "docker way"
We use this setup since a year or so, handover all logs to splunk and also this
works like expected.
some advise:
- do not use multi-instance setup -> use multiple container
- make $(postconf data_directory) and $(postconf queue_directory) persistent
volumes, separate per container
- $(postconf config_directory) could be mounted read only
- docker healthcheck can be used to monitor the number of items in a deferred
queue
- "postfix reload" works
-> works, give it a try :-)
