Postfix

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

Requirements

None.

Role Variables

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. If you are unsure how to do this, see Knoats - Configuring Postfix
