## Building a Forward-Only Mail Server
A **forward-only** mail-server does not have any local mailboxes. Instead, it has only aliases that forward emails to external email accounts (for example to a Gmail account). You can also send email from the localhost (the computer where `docker-mailserver` is installed), using as sender any of the alias addresses.

This structure is different from what is expected/assumed from the configuration scripts of `docker-mailserver`, so it doesn't work just by using the `LDAP_QUERY_FILTER_...` settings. Instead, I had to use a custom configuration ([via `user-patches.sh`][docs-userpatches]). I created the script `docker-data/dms/config/user-patches.sh`, with content like this:
