How to provide username and password for ansible mail module

ansiblesmtp

How to provide username and password of email account while using ansible mail module. I'm using gmail smtp server. In documentation of mail module nothing is mentioned about it.

I also came across an issue where username and password support was added through commit( maybe..I don't know how it works.). But I couldn't find username and password implementation for smtp in master source code [https:// github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/devel/library/notification/mail.](sorry..don't have enough rep to post 3 links)

The pull request you found has not (yet) been merged into mainline Ansible. It may be merged at some point in the future, but that is 100% up to the project maintainers.

Until then, you'll need to send SMTP to another host locally that can accept the mail without the need for authentication.

Add the following to your sendmail.mc:

define(`RELAY_MAILER_ARGS', `TCP $h 587')
define(`ESMTP_MAILER_ARGS’, `TCP $h 587′)

That should get your outbound mail being sent by Sendmail on port 587.

You'll also need to have sendmail configured to do TLS. It's a bit beyond the scope of your question, but you can find a lot of decent guides about how to do it w/ Google if you're not familiar.

How to see stdout of ansible commands

I think you can register the result to a variable, then print with debug.

- name: print to stdout
  command: echo "hello"
  register: hello

- debug: msg="{{ hello.stdout }}"

- debug: msg="{{ hello.stderr }}"
