Official git repository: http://github.com/netmanagers/puppet-ssmtp

Released under the terms of Apache 2 License.

This module depends on R.I.Pienaar's concat module (https://github.com/ripienaar/puppet-concat).

This module requires functions provided by the Example42 Puppi module (you need it even if you don't use and install Puppi)

USAGE - Basic management

• All parameters can be set using Hiera. See the manifests to see what can be set.

• Install ssmtp with default distro's settings

    class { 'ssmtp': }
  

• You can install and configure overriding default parameters, using a template (ie., the included one):

    class { 'ssmtp': 
      template         => 'ssmtp/ssmtp.conf.erb',
      root_destination => 'postmaster',
      mailhub          => 'my.shiny.mail.server',
    }
  

• Install a specific version of ssmtp package

    class { 'ssmtp':
      version => '1.0.1',
    }
  

• Remove ssmtp resources

    class { 'ssmtp':
      absent => true
    }
  

• Enable auditing without without making changes on existing ssmtp configuration files

    class { 'ssmtp':
      audit_only => true
    }
  

• Module dry-run: Do not make any change on all the resources provided by the module

    class { 'ssmtp':
      noops => true
    }
  

• If you want to add revaliases, you can use ssmtp::revalias. See man ssmtp(8) and the define for more details:

    ssmtp::revalias { 'postmaster':
      from    => 'javier@netmanagers.com.ar',
      mailhub => 'my.other.mailhub',
    }
  

USAGE - Overrides and Customizations

• Use custom sources for main config file

    class { 'ssmtp':
      source => [ "puppet:///modules/netmanagers/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf-${hostname}" , "puppet:///modules/netmanagers/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf" ], 
    }
  

• Use custom template for main config file. Note that template and source arguments are alternative.

    class { 'ssmtp':
      template => 'netmanagers/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf.erb',
    }
  

• Automatically include a custom subclass

    class { 'ssmtp':
      my_class => 'netmanagers::my_ssmtp',
    }
