While the use cases are likely to differ, a lot of "common" software
such as nginx provide minimal containers that simply start the software,
w/o any specific configuration.

There are more sophisticated containers for other software out there,
but to be honest, the defaults in them are often fitting no one.

My suggestion - or wish - for postfix would be if it could follow
footsteps of nginx in the sense that there are 1-2 containers (not only
Dockerfiles) published per version, such as:

             versionx-alpine
             versiony-debian

The Dockerfiles for both of them could be as simple as apk add / apt-get
install plus the entrypint "postfix start-fg". As to which configuration
would be placed inside the container, that is up to the user.

The required work for this would be:

- a) Create 1-2 Dockerfiles
- b) Create a new container once a new version is released & added into the
  specific distribution

I could help (a) and/or (b), but it would need someone (I guess you) to
define which/where the "official" container image would be located at.

BR,

Nico
