# Postfix Role for Ansible
This role configures [Postfix](http://www.postfix.org/) which is a free and
open-source mail transfer agent (MTA) that routes and delivers electronic mail,
intended as an alternative to the widely used Sendmail MTA.
## Requirements
This role requires [Ansible](http://www.ansibleworks.com/) version 1.4 or higher
and the Debian/Ubuntu platform.
## Role Variables
The variables that can be passed to this role and a brief description about
them are as follows:
```yaml
# The FQDN for the Postfix email server
postfix_domain: ''
# The receiving email address where root email is forwarded
postfix_notify_email: false
# The next-hop destination of non-local mail, for SMTP define a FQDN or hostname
postfix_relayhost: ''
# The default flag for whether to enable SMTP sending
postfix_use_smtp: false
# The username for SMTP authentication
postfix_relayhost_user: false
# The password for SMTP authentication
postfix_relayhost_pass: false
# Don't use mechanisms that permit anonymous authentication.
postfix_smtp_sasl_security_options: 'noanonymous'
# Enable client-side authentication
# postfix_smtp_sasl_auth_enable: 'yes'
# SMTP user:pass
# postfix_smtp_sasl_password_maps: 'static:SMTP_Injection:APIKEY'
# Ensures that the connection to the remote smtp server will be encrypted
# postfix_smtp_tls_security_level: 'encrypt'
# Header size limitation
# postfix_header_size_limit: '4096000'
```
