| Role Name | ||||
| Postfix | ||||
| ========= | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| A brief description of the role goes here. | ||||
| An ansible role to install and configure Postfix on a remote host. | ||||
| This can be used to configure a server to send mail on your behalf. | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| Should you have any questions on basic Postfix configurations, see  | ||||
| [Knoats - Configuring Postfix](https://knoats.com/books/linux-admin/page/configure-postfix#bkmrk-create-google-app-to) | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| Requirements | ||||
| ------------ | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| Any pre-requisites that may not be covered by Ansible itself or the role should be mentioned here. For instance, if the role uses the EC2 module, it may be a good idea to mention in this section that the boto package is required. | ||||
| None. | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| Role Variables | ||||
| -------------- | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| A description of the settable variables for this role should go here, including any variables that are in defaults/main.yml, vars/main.yml, and any variables that can/should be set via parameters to the role. Any variables that are read from other roles and/or the global scope (ie. hostvars, group vars, etc.) should be mentioned here as well. | ||||
| `packages: [mailutils, postfix]` | ||||
|  * A list of packages to install on the server | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| `relay_host: "[sub.domain.com]:777"` | ||||
|  * The relay to route mail through. Presumably, this could be GMail's - | ||||
|   `[smtp.gmail.com]:587` | ||||
|     | ||||
| `email: "email@domain.com"` | ||||
|  * The email address that Postfix will route mail through. Instead of  | ||||
|    `root@SERVER_IP`, mail send with Postfix will use `email@domain.com`  | ||||
|    as the sender | ||||
|     | ||||
| `sasl_passwd: "xxxxxxxxxxxxx"` | ||||
|  * The sasl password generated for the email account we selected.  | ||||

| Example Playbook | ||||
| ---------------- | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| Including an example of how to use your role (for instance, with variables passed in as parameters) is always nice for users too: | ||||
| First, make sure all settings within `defaults/main.yml` are correct for your | ||||
| server. All settings and their purposes are outline in the section above. | ||||
| 
 | ||||
|     - hosts: servers | ||||
|       roles: | ||||
|          - { role: username.rolename, x: 42 } | ||||
| Create a new ansible play. You can name it whatever you want, but this | ||||
| example play will simply be named `postfix.yml`. | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| ```yml | ||||
| --- | ||||
| - hosts: testserver | ||||
|   become: yes | ||||
|   roles: | ||||
|   - postfix | ||||
| ``` | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| Make sure the IP for `testserver` is correct in the `/etc/ansible/hosts` file - | ||||
| ``` | ||||
| [testserver] | ||||
| 123.123.123.123:22 | ||||
| ``` | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| Run the play! | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| ```bash | ||||
| ansible-playbook postfix.yml | ||||
| ``` | ||||
