Overview

Simple module for installing and running the Postfix MTA on RedHat-based and Debian-based systems.

Module Description

The module installs the Postfix MTA from vendor packages on supported platforms and provides the ability to override package name and service init state.

The module is appropriate for forwarding MTA setup and basic inbound MTA. It does not currently expose an API which allows complicated mail filtering, TLS, nor vhosted setups. Pull requests encouraged.

Setup

What postfix affects

  • by default, installs from vendor Postfix packages
  • makes modifications to /etc/postfix/main.cf

Beginning with postfix

sudo puppet module install nrvale0-postfix

Usage

include ::postfix
class { '::postfix':
  relayhost => 'mail.myorg.private',
  myorigin => $::fqdn,
}

Note there are no required parameters to class postfix.

Reference

  • 'relayhost' and 'myorigin' are injected into main.cf using Puppet resource type file_line from puppetlabs/stdlib.

Limitations

  • current OS support:

  • Ubuntu 12.04, 14.04

  • Debian 7

  • RedHat/CentOS 6

  • upcoming OS support

  • Ubuntu 13.10

  • RedHat/CentOS 7
