exim-to-ses

Installs and configures Exim to act as an SMTP relay to an AWS SES SMTP endpoint for RHEL 6 compatible hosts.

Requirements

None.

Role Variables

Available variables are listed below.

• aws_region
• aws_ses_username
• aws_ses_password
• relay_from_hosts

aws_region and relay_from_hosts will both receive default values if they are left undefined. aws_ses_username and aws_ses_password must have values explicitly defined.

relay_from_hosts

relay_from_hosts should contain the value you want the Exim relay_from_hosts configuration directive to ultimately have. Below is a one-line snippet from an exim.conf showing the Exim relay_from_hosts configuration directive. In this example the Ansible variable relay_from_hosts had been set to localhost : 192.168.1.0/24 when the role was run.

hostlist   relay_from_hosts = localhost : 192.168.1.0/24

If the Ansible variable relay_from_hosts is left unset, the role will use the CIDR representation of the subnet of the default network interface.

aws_region

aws_region has a default value of us-east-1.
