Ansible Role: Postfix

This role installs and manages Postfix, an SMTP server.

This role is designed to manage Postfix on different hosts in a cluster, with different "capabilities". At the moment the role can configure Postfix to act as:

• a null client: Postfix sends all mail to another system specified either via DNS MX records or an Ansible variable, no local mail is enabled (this is the default configuration);
• a local SMTP server: local mail is delivered to local user accounts;
• a network SMTP server: network access is enabled separately from other capabilities, to avoid exposing misconfigured SMTP server by mistake and becoming an open relay;
• an incoming MX gateway: Postfix will listen on the port 25 (default SMTP port) and process connections using postscreen daemon with automatic greylisting and optional RBL checking;
• an outgoing SMTP client: Postfix will relay outgoing mail messages to specified remote MX hosts
