Hey,

I just setup OpenProject a few days ago and came over a problem with the inbound mail config.

I setup openProject via Portainer using the github repository link to the compose file.

The initial setup works flawless, but after adding the env-vars for the inbound mail config, it doesn't works as expected:

1. When inviting to a meeting, the user gets an email with the info and invite as expected

2. Clicking on "confirm" (in Thunderbird) sends the response as expected (validated on the mailserver)

3. The user immediately receives another mail with the user shown as confirmed

4. the status of the user in the web-UI stays on "unknown"

In the cron-container log it shows repeatably:

The stack runs behind an Apache reverse proxy on localhost.

I'm not sure if I've missed some flag or var, or if this is indeed a bug.

Help is really appreciated as the instance should be used for our works council soon.
