Description
This is most likely a user error, but having more info in the readme would be helpful. This is what I am doing.
# using mydomain.de as an example below
# IP is the external ip the domain points to
docker run -p 4444:25 -v /tmp/exim:/var/spool/exim4 -e PRIMARY_HOST=mydomain.de -e ALLOWED_HOSTS="$IP" elsdoerfer/exim-sender
in a 2nd terminal I run
telnet localhost 4444
Trying ::1...
Connected to localhost.localdomain.
Escape character is '^]'.
