Kubernetes Mailbox Manager is a small application allowing mailboxes to be created in a Kubernetes cluster using Custom Resources. Any 'Mailbox' known in namespace will automatically be transformed into a postfix accounts config file.
This file can then be supplied as a ConfigMap to any postfix-running setup such as tomav/docker-mailserver.
Make sure the Mailbox Custom Resource Definition is applied.
