Ansible Role: Mailpit

Installs Mailpit, an email testing tool for developers, on RedHat or Debian-based linux systems. Mailpit acts as both an SMTP server, and provides a web interface to view all captured emails. Mailpit is inspired by MailHog, but much, much faster.

This role is based on https://github.com/geerlingguy/ansible-role-mailhog

If you're using PHP and would like to route all PHP email into Mailpit, you will need to update the sendmail_path configuration option in php.ini, like so:

sendmail_path = "{{ mailpit_install_dir }}/mailpit sendmail"
