         host:
           name: ${_param:postfix_origin}
           aliases:
             - ${linux:system:name}.${linux:system:domain}
             - ${linux:system:name}

Example pillar¶

Server¶

Setup without postfixadmin:

postfix:
  server:
    origin: ${_param:postfix_origin}
    admin:
      enabled: false

DKIM¶

postfix:
  server:
    dkim:
      enabled: true
      domains:
        - name: example.com
          selector: mail
          key: |
            super_secret_private_key

First you need to generate private and public key, eg.:

opendkim-genkey -r -s mail -d example.com

And set public key in your DNS records, see mail.txt for public key.

Mailman¶

postfix:
  server:
    mailman:
      enabled: true
      admin_password: SaiS0kai
      distributed: true
      use_https: false
      lists:
        - name: support
          admin: test@lxc.eru
          password: test
          domain: lxc.eru
          domainweb: lists.lxc.eru
          members:
            - test@lxc.eru

It’s also good idea to mount GlusterFS volume on /var/lib/mailman for multi-master setup. In that case distributed has to be true to bind-mount qfiles directory which must not be shared.

Parameter use_https needs to be set before setting up any lists, otherwise you need to fix lists urls manually using:

withlist -l -a -r fix_url

You can also set per-list parameters. For example you can setup private mailing list with these options:

lists:
  - name: support
    admin: test@lxc.eru
    password: test
    domain: lxc.eru
    domainweb: lists.lxc.eru
    members:
      - test@lxc.eru
    parameters:
      real_name: support
      description: "Support mailing list"
      # Don't be advertised
      advertised: 0
      # Require admin to confirm subscription
      subscribe_policy: 2
      # Show members only to admins
      private_roster: 2
      # Archive only for members
      archive_private: 1

To list all available configuration options for given list, see output of folliwing command:

config_list -o - <list_name>

Warning

If you want to have list on your domain, eg. support@example.com instead of support@lists.example.com, you may need to set up aliases like this, depending on your setup:

support-owner@example.com -> support-owner@lists.example.com
support-admin@example.com -> support-admin@lists.example.com
support-request@example.com -> support-request@lists.example.com
support-confirm@example.com -> support-confirm@lists.example.com
support-join@example.com -> support-join@lists.example.com
support-leave@example.com -> support-leave@lists.example.com
support-subscribe@example.com -> support-subscribe@lists.example.com
support-unsubscribe@example.com -> support-unsubscribe@lists.example.com
support-bounces@example.com -> support-bounces@lists.example.com
support@example.com -> support@lists.example.com

Relay¶

postfix:
  relay:
    # Postfix will listen only on localhost
    interfaces: loopback-only
    host: mail.cloudlab.cz
    domain: cloudlab.cz
    sasl:
      user: test
      password: changeme

Backup MX¶

postfix:
  backupmx:
    domains:
      - cloudlab.cz
      - lists.cloudlab.cz

Development and testing¶

Development and test workflow with Test Kitchen and kitchen-salt provisioner plugin.

Test Kitchen is a test harness tool to execute your configured code on one or more platforms in isolation. There is a .kitchen.yml in main directory that defines platforms to be tested and suites to execute on them.

Kitchen CI can spin instances locally or remote, based on used driver. For local development .kitchen.yml defines a vagrant or docker driver.

To use backend drivers or implement your CI follow the section `INTEGRATION.rst#Continuous Integration`__.

A listing of scenarios to be executed:

$ kitchen list

backupmx-bento-centos-71    Vagrant  SaltSolo     Busser    Ssh        <Not Created>

The Busser Verifier is used to setup and run tests implementated in <repo>/test/integration. It installs the particular driver to tested instance (Serverspec, InSpec, Shell, Bats, …) prior the verification is executed.

Usage:

# manually
kitchen [test || [create|converge|verify|exec|login|destroy|...]] -t tests/integration

# or with provided Makefile within CI pipeline
make kitchen
