We can use the tricks of [overriding defaults in postfix configuration](../override-defaults/postfix.md) This can be configured by [overriding the default Postfix configurations](../override-defaults/postfix.md) DMS provides. Create `postfix-master.cf` and `postfix-main.cf` files for your config volume (`docker-data/dms/config`).
by supplying a custom `docker-data/dms/config/postfix-master.cf` and `docker-data/dms/config/postfix-main.cf`.
In `postfix-main.cf` you'll have to set the [smtp_bind_address](https://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#smtp_bind_address) and [smtp_bind_address6](https://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#smtp_bind_address6) In `postfix-main.cf` you'll have to set the [`smtp_bind_address`](https://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#smtp_bind_address) and [`smtp_bind_address6`](https://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#smtp_bind_address6)

One problem with using `smtp_bind_address` is that the default configuration for `smtp-amavis` in One problem with using `smtp_bind_address` is that the default configuration for `smtp-amavis` in

the `smtp_bind_address` as source address when "forwarding" email for filtering via amavis. the `smtp_bind_address` as source address when "forwarding" email for filtering via Amavis.
This seems to be a better configuration than adding your bind-addresses to `mynetworks` configuration in
Postfix.
Example `postfix-master.cf`: !!! example
``` ```title="postfix-master.cf"
smtp-amavis/unix/smtp_bind_address=127.0.0.1 smtp-amavis/unix/smtp_bind_address=127.0.0.1
smtp-amavis/unix/smtp_bind_address6=::1 smtp-amavis/unix/smtp_bind_address6=::1
``` ```
This seems to be a better approach than adding your bind-addresses to `mynetworks` parameter in
Postfix `postfix-main.cf`.
