email issues

[Rene Paquin]

Attempting to send an email via ansible and running into issues.  Here is the playbook

 

 

- hosts: localhost

  gather_facts: no

  vars_files:

    - group_vars/vars

 

  tasks:

  - name: send an email

    community.general.mail:

      host: signed.wlu.ca

      port: 25

      from:  "{{ from }}"

      to: "{{ email }}"

      subject: test

      body: test

 

I can ping the smtp server and telnet to he port.  So not sure why the connection is not happening.

 

 

Here are the results

    sock.connect(sa)
