People,

I want to have a MTA running from a container but is it possible for the containerised MTA:

1. to deliver mails to users on the host's file system dir (eg /home/user/Maildir)?

2. to have access to the host's:

   /etc/passwd    /etc/shadow    /etc/group    /etc/gshadow

files for users who are logging in to the host to look at their mails?

I worked out that I could use the run "-v" switch to answer Q #1

Thanks,

Phil.

Something like # podman run --security-opt label:disable -v /etc:/etc:ro -v /home/home ... MTAIMAGE ... Might work.   Or you would have to get more fine grained on /etc mounts.
