Installs Exim (a Mail Transfer Agent) on RedHat/CentOS or Debian/Ubuntu.
The original from geerlingguy/ansible-role-exim aims at using smtp to send mail directy (config type: internet) This fork can be configured for multiple modes.
I use it for configuring exim4 as an smtp satellite that sends mails through an smtp relay, like gmail or online.net
It supports TLS, generating exim certificate, configuring smtp relay and credentials, adding localmacros, changing most of dc_* configs
None.
Available variables are listed below, along with default values (see defaults/main.yml):
exim_dc_eximconfig_configtype: internet
(Debian/Ubuntu only) Main configuration type. Should be 'internet' for public mail sending, or 'local' if mail should only be delivered locally. See Exim documentation for other options.
exim_dc_localdelivery: mail_spool
(Debian/Ubuntu only) Default transport for local mail delivery. Defaults to mail_spool if unset.
exim_primary_hostname: ""
Force a primary server hostname for Exim. Usually you don't need to set this, but if Exim can't reliably determine the FQDN of your server, you can set this and it will ensure Exim uses the correct hostname.
None.
