postfix

master branch: Build Status

This is the postfix module. It provides installation and configuration routines using Puppet.

Simplest Configuration:

include postfix

It will just install the postfix package and ensure that postfix is running.


Simple Configuration:

include postfix

class { 'postfix::config':
  smtpd_banner        => 'example.org ESMTP example.org (Debian/GNU)',
}

It will just install the postfix package and ensure that postfix is running and set the SMTP Banner to the specified.

Relay Configuration:

include postfix

class {'postfix::relay':
      sender_hostname=>'sender.example.org',
      masquerade_domains=>'example.org',
      relayhost=>'receiver.example.org'
}

It will just install the postfix package and ensure that postfix is running and that emails are forwarded to the relayhost.

  dbname     => 'dbname',
  dbpassword => 'dbpassword',

  virtual_transport   => 'dovecot',
  dovecot_destination_recipient_limit  => '1',
  maildrop_destination_recipient_limit => '1',
}

Well, it does something more. You could reuse this piece of code but you need to have a dovecot running and a database with the correct schema.
