Configure callback mail

[Frédéric GAUTHIER BESNARD]

Hello,

I try to understand mail callback configuration.

My ansible.cfg

```

[defaults]

inventory = env/inventory.ini

library = lib

callback_enabled = timer,minimal,profile_tasks,mail

interpreter_python = /usr/bin/python3

collections_paths = .

[callback_mail]

smtphost = mail.externalsmtp.com

smtpport = 465

sender = ma...@mail.com

to = ma...@mail.com

```

But, Where I put password?

I tried with password = "mypassword', in callback_mail section, but no more works.

I created a playbook with task that I'm sure it fails. But I don't receive mail.

I tried without success:

```

callback_enabled = timer,minimal,profile_tasks,community.general.mail

```

```

Thanks for help

The mail callback is intended to work with a local MTA, and not intended to work with public email services that require SMTP auth.  As such, you cannot supply a password.  You have to be able to send mail unauthenticated with this callback.

What we usually do is install Postfix on the local machine and have
Postfix relay to the SMTP server with username/password.

Thanks

Ok, thanks, I understand now.

But my ansible project is in docker container, so I need to intergrate postix in image.

Thanks
