One may enable it through simple custom configuration, either as a replacement or (better!) supplementary mean of secure Submission. - It does not support old MUAs (clients) not supporting TLS encryption on ports 587/465 (those should perform Submission on port 25, more details below). One may relax that constraint through advanced custom configuration, for backwards compatibility. -A final Submission setup exists and is akin SMTP+STARTTLS on port 587, but on port 25. That port has historically been reserved specifically for unencrypted (plain text) mail exchange though, making STARTTLS a bit of a misusage. As is expected by [RFC 5321](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5321), docker-mailserver uses port 25 for unencrypted Submission in order to support older clients (Submission), but most importantly for unencrypted Transfer/Relay between MTAs. +A final Submission setup exists and is akin SMTP+STARTTLS on port 587, but on port 25.
