Nullmailer is useful in situations where you have machines but do not wish to configure them with a full email service (mail transfer agent, mta).
Particularly to send email about local activity to a centralised place.
By default, the module will configure things to be sent, via smtp, to:
smtp.$::domain
to
root@$::domain
i.e. given $::domain is 'example.com', mail would be sent to [email protected] via SMTP to smtp.example.com
This may require you to configure your SMTP server to accept incoming email from various machines.
NOTE: /etc/mailname must be set to a reasonable value. This module will, by default, set it to $::fqdn
class {'nullmailer': }
To configure who will receive all email:
class {'nullmailer':
adminaddr => "[email protected]"
}
Or to change the machine where email is sent to:
class {'nullmailer':
remoterelay => "elsewhere.example.com"
}
When modifying these parameters, please ensure the value is in double quotes.
Other things to modify are listed in the init.pp file
