[users at bb.net] Buildbot not sending email status updates

[Pierre Tardy]

Thanks for the clarification.

If you are starting a new bot I would definitely recommend to start with
0.9.0rc1.

It has docker support built in and lots of better internals that will help
you to scale when the time comes.

You can look at the Dockerfiles that we provide in the source code as a
good start to build your own.

I would also recommend as a docker best practice to not put sendmail in the
same docker and rather use docker compose to create your system.
Also for docker, as it is new technology I would also recommend to use the
latest version and not the one shipped in 14.04
