Build Status

ansible-msmtp-mailer

This ansible role deploys msmtp as a mailer for RHEL8 and compatible.

Prerequisite

  • Access to a functioning SMTP server.

How to install

  • Either use git to clone/download into your roles directory:

  • Or import in your requirements.yml:
    roles:
      - src: git+https://git.garbaye.fr/Garbaye/ansible-msmtp-mailer.git
    

Variables

All the default variables are located defaults/main.yml. Mostly you would need to configure the following variables.

  • msmtp_accounts: You can define one or more smtp accounts:

    msmtp_accounts:
    - account:   gmail
      host:      smtp.gmail.com
      port:      587
      auth:      "on"
      from:      example@gmail.example
      user:      example@gmail.example
      password:  "some password"
    - account:   mysmtp
      host:      smtp.example
      port:      587
      auth:      "on"
      from:      admin@example.org
      user:      myuser@example.org
      password:  plain-text-password2
    
  • msmtp_default_account: Default smtp account to use

    msmtp_default_account: "gmail"

  • Logging

    • Option A (syslog)

       msmtp_log : "syslog"
      
    • Option B (file logging)

       msmtp_log     : "file"
       msmtp_logfile : /var/log/msmtp.log
      
    • Option C (No logging)

       msmtp_log     : "no"
      
  • Mail aliases

    • msmtp_alias_default: default email this required

      msmtp_alias_default : ops@example.com

    • msmtp_alias_root: root email this is optional

      msmtp_alias_root : root@example.com

    • msmtp_alias_cron: cron email this optional

      msmtp_alias_cron : cron@example.com

Configure

You can configure your variables in ansible with one of the following

  • Create a variable in host/group variables directory.
  • Editing vars/main.yml
  • Run ansible-playbook with -e
  • Edit the defaults/main.yml (not recommended)

Example Playbook

---
- hosts: all
  roles:
    - ansible-msmtp-mailer

Run

  • mstmp used to function out of the box with the provided defaults/main.yml settings, because the configuration used a real smtp server for testing, but Yandex does not allow this any more. Instead use a Gmail account for testing.

    ansible-playbook -l hostname msmtp.yml

Test

You should get a test mail if it works as expected on the root mail
