lifeofguenter.nullmailer

An ansible role to install and configure nullmailer, a sendmail/qmail/etc replacement MTA for hosts which relay to a fixed set of smart relays. http://untroubled.org/nullmailer/

Requirements

None.

Role Variables

nullmailer adminaddr and nullmailer_remotes are the variables that should at least be set to have some functional nullmailer. Other variables have sane defaults, and function mostly like nullmailer would default.

nullmailer_adminaddr

default: empty string

If this variable is not empty, all recipients to users at either "localhost" (the literal string) or the canonical host name (from /etc/mailname) are remapped to this address. This is provided to allow local daemons to be able to send email to "somebody@localhost" and have it go somewhere sensible instead of being bounced by your relay host.

nullmailer_remotes

default: empty list

This file contains a list of remote servers to which to send each message. Each line of this file contains a remote host name or address followed by an optional protocol string, separated by white space. The protocol name defaults to smtp, and may be followed by command-line arguments for that module.
