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 \
