### Networking mode
On a swarm, the services are available (default mode) through a routing mesh managed by docker itself. With this mode, each service is given a virtual IP adress and docker manages the routing between this virtual IP and the container(s) providing this service.
On this example, we are using:
- the mesh routing mode (default mode). With this mode, each service is given a virtual IP adress and docker manages the routing between this virtual IP and the container(s) providing this service.
- the default ingress mode.
## Allow authentification with the mesh routing
In order to allow every (front & webmail) container to access the other services, we will use the variable POD_ADDRESS_RANGE.
Let's create the mailu_default network:
@ -68,8 +71,22 @@ core@coreos-01 ~ $ docker network inspect mailu_default | grep Subnet
"Subnet": "10.0.1.0/24",
```
In the docker-compose.yml file, we will then use POD_ADDRESS_RANGE = 10.0.1.0/24
In fact, imap & smtp logs doesn't show the IPs from the front(s) container(s), but the IP of "mailu_default-endpoint". So it is sufficient to set POD_ADDRESS_RANGE to this specific ip (which can be found by inspecting mailu_default network). The issue is that this endpoint is created while the stack is created, I did'nt figure a way to determine this IP before the stack creation...
## Limitation with the ingress mode
With the default ingress mode, the front(s) container(s) will see origin IP(s) all being 10.255.0.x (which is the ingress-endpoint, can be found by inspecting the ingress network)
This issue is known and discussed here:
https://github.com/moby/moby/issues/25526
A workaround (using network host mode and global deployment) is discussed here:

## Don't create an open relay !
As a side effect of this ingress mode "feature", make sure that the ingress subnet is not in your RELAYHOST, otherwise you would create an smtp open relay :-(
Nota: on my setup, imap & smtp logs doesn't show the IPs from the front(s) container(s), but the IP of "mailu_default-endpoint". So it might be sufficient to set POD_ADDRESS_RANGE to this specific ip (which can be found by inspecting mailu_default network)
### Scalability
- smtp and imap are scalable
