A SMTP relay host for transactional based emails from within a k8 cluster.

This repository contains Kubernetes config files and a docker image to easily set up a SMTP relay for services such as SendGrid.

We needed a simple docker image that can be configured with env vars. Also, the functionality is easily overridded by providing an alternate init script.

Run on docker

docker run --rm -it -p 2525:25 \
	-e TX_SMTP_RELAY_HOST="[smtp.sendgrid.net]:587" \
	-e TX_SMTP_RELAY_MYHOSTNAME=tx-smtp-relay.yourhost.com \
	-e TX_SMTP_RELAY_USERNAME=username \
	-e TX_SMTP_RELAY_PASSWORD=password \
	applariat/tx-smtp-relay
