ansible-dkim
Ansible role for configuring Postfix with OpenDKIM, an implementation for Linux of DKIM mail signing. Works on Debian distributions and derived like Ubuntu.
Description
This role configures DKIM mail signing service in a hosts that works as a Mail Transport Agent (MTA).
The role:
- installs and configures opendkim,
- creates private and public dkim keys for the domains it has to sign, declared in the
dkim_domainsvariable, - installs postfix and configures it to pass all the messages of the configured domains to be signed by opendkim,
- shows the DNS records with the public keys that must be defined in the public DNS of the domains we sign.
Requirements
The role requires that you configure all the rest of the mail management and you will need to have access to the DNS configuration of the domains you are requesting to sign. At the end, the role will give you the DNS records with the public keys of the domains that you will have to publish in the global DNS system.
