 Link the container to another container and use the mailcatcher SMTP port `1025` via a ENV variable like `$MAILCATCHER_PORT_1025_TCP_ADDR`.
+
+## HTTP Path Support
+You can run the web interface under a different root by specifying the environmental variable HTTPPATH. This can be used if you're proxying the incoming connection. 
+
+```sh
+$ docker run -d -p 1080:1080 -e HTTPPATH="mailcatcher" --name mailcatcher schickling/mailcatcher
