Ansible Role: Exim

This role installs Exim, which is a Mail Transfer Agent, on RedHat/CentOS or Debian/Ubuntu systems.

Requirements

No special requirements.

Role Variables

Here are the variables you can use, along with their default values (found in defaults/main.yml):

• exim_dc_eximconfig_configtype: internet

  (For Debian/Ubuntu) This setting defines the main configuration type. Set it to 'internet' for sending public emails or 'local' if emails should only be sent within the local network. You can refer to Exim's documentation for more options.

• exim_dc_localdelivery: mail_spool

  (For Debian/Ubuntu) This is the default method for delivering local emails. It will default to mail_spool if not set.

• exim_primary_hostname: ""

  This forces a specific hostname for Exim. You usually don't need to change this, but if Exim has trouble figuring out the Full Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) of your server, you can set it to make sure Exim uses the right hostname.

Dependencies

No dependencies.
