Hi there, first of all many thanks to the work you have put in here!

I am using the docker container to host bitwarden_rs on my own premise.

When I run the docker container by using the command (as described here: https://github.com/dani-garcia/bitwarden_rs/wiki/SMTP-configuration):

sudo docker run -d --name bitwarden
-e SMTP_HOST=<smtp.gmail.com>
-e SMTP_FROM=info@gmail.com
-e SMTP_PORT=587
-e SMTP_SSL=true
-e SMTP_PASSWORD=
-e DOMAIN=https://mydomain:8443
-p 8443:80
bitwardenrs/server:latest

I am getting the error: -bash: smtp.gmail.com: No such file or directory

Wondering what I am doing wrong... Any ideas how to solve the issue?
Thank you in advance

@jhornet Remove the characters < and > from the command.

(Also, I doubt such a From email address would be allowed...)
