# Ansible Postfix role
This role is an easy way of configuring outgoing mail for local users. It's
intended to be used by local users only, for example, to receive mail from
cronjobs. 

An aliases file is set up along with Postfix, where all email is forwarded to
the current Ansible user. Those emails are then forwarded to an external email
address. If you need to set up a more complex aliases file, you'll need to edit
the file manually.

## Example usage in a playbook

- hosts: vm1.home.lan
  become: yes
  vars:
    mail_hostname: vm1.home.lan
    canonical_name: vm1.home.example.com

    relay_port: 465
