The example to run the docker image is incomplete when it comes to authentication.

Currently the example reads like this:

docker run -d \
--name=mailpit \
--restart unless-stopped \
-e MP_DATA_FILE=/mailpit/mailpit.db \
-e MP_UI_AUTH_FILE=/mailpit/authfile \
-e TZ=Europe/London \
-p 8025:8025 \
-p 1025:1025 \
axllent/mailpit

But it lacks any means to actually provide the referenced /mailpit/authfile inside the container.

I think it should be extended to:

docker run -d \
--name=mailpit \
--restart unless-stopped \
-v some/path/to/authfile:/mailpit/authfile
-e MP_DATA_FILE=/mailpit/mailpit.db \
-e MP_UI_AUTH_FILE=/mailpit/authfile \
-e TZ=Europe/London \
-p 8025:8025 \
-p 1025:1025 \
axllent/mailpit

(or something similar)
