Role Variables

• nullmailer_mail_recipient: [email protected]
  This is the email address where all messages sent through nullmailer will go. Make sure this address is accepted by the nullmailer_relay_host.

• nullmailer_relay_host: smtp.example.com
  This is the SMTP relay server that will handle all outgoing email.

• nullmailer_relay_port: 465
  This is the port used to connect to the nullmailer_relay_host via SMTP.

• nullmailer_relay_user: [email protected]
  This is the username for the SMTP authentication. It can be left blank if you don't need authentication (like in IP-based trust).

• nullmailer_relay_pass: 50m3p455w0r6
  This is the password for SMTP authentication with the nullmailer_relay_host.

• nullmailer_allmailfrom: [email protected]
  If set, this will change the sender address on all messages. Be careful using this, as it affects how undeliverable messages are handled.

• nullmailer_remote_ssl: true|false
  Set to true to add SSL for remote connections (default is true).

• nullmailer_remote_starttls: true|false
  Set to true to add STARTTLS support (default is false).
