Hi George,
No, postfix is running directly on the host. I don't think 25 is bound to the docker -- at least, I didn't bind it.
I can send mail via postfix (routing thru Gmail SMTP) from the host via mail command.
I'm just using the postfix that came with OSX. I built the 'production' version of mattermost team for OSX as in the wiki, using docker compose method.
Is the 'production' version where I have gone awry? I haven't set up any nodes to interconnect -- I just used that method to get a feature-parity OSX install.
Thanks!
