Postfix

Description

This role installs and configures Postfix – a mail transfer agent – on the target system. It deploys a preconfigured aliases file (using a Jinja2 template) that defines mail redirections and standard aliases for local mail delivery.

Overview

Optimized for secure and reliable mail delivery, this role:

  • Installs Postfix via pacman.
  • Provides a default aliases file to route system mail appropriately.
  • Configures essential Postfix parameters via a templated main configuration file (if needed).

Purpose

Features

  • Aliases Configuration: Deploys a default aliases file to direct system mail.
  • System Integration: Works in conjunction with the administrator user role for secure mail routing.
