ansible-postfix-aws

Ansible role to install Postfix and configure it to send emails through Amazon SES service.

This role follows official Amazone documentation for SES with some modifications to ensure idempotency.

Requirements

Currently, the role only supports CentOS , Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) EL7, and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS distribution flavors.

If you need support for other flavors, feel free to submit a pull request.

To use this role, you have to have to have Amazon AWS account (to create it follow the online instructions) and IAM user for SMTP authentication with SES. To create it, follow the online instructions on Obtaining SMTP Credentials. Note that the obtained SMTP user name and password are not the same as IAM user's access key ID and secret access key.

For the role to work properly, the "from" email address has to be verified with SES. If your account is still in sandbox, all "to" emails also have to be verified. For more information, check Amazon's instructions on verifying email addresses.
