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

The primary purpose of this role is to set up a robust mail transfer agent configuration for local mail delivery. It ensures that system-generated mail (such as error messages) is delivered to the correct administrative address.

Features

• Postfix Installation: Ensures the Postfix package is installed.

• 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.
