salt.modules.smtp

Module for Sending Messages via SMTP

New in version 2014.7.0.

depends:
  • smtplib python module
configuration:

This module can be used by either passing a jid and password directly to send_message, or by specifying the name of a configuration profile in the minion config, minion pillar, or master config.

For example:

my-smtp-login:
    smtp.server: smtp.domain.com
    smtp.tls: True
    smtp.sender: [email protected]
    smtp.username: myuser
    smtp.password: verybadpass

The resourcename refers to the resource that is using this account. It is user-definable, and optional. The following configurations are both valid:

my-smtp-login:
    smtp.server: smtp.domain.com
    smtp.tls: True
    smtp.sender: [email protected]
    smtp.username: myuser
    smtp.password: verybadpass

another-smtp-login:
    smtp.server: smtp.domain.com
    smtp.tls: True
    smtp.sender: [email protected]
    smtp.username: myuser
    smtp.password: verybadpass
salt.modules.smtp.send_msg(recipient, message, subject='Message from Salt', sender=None, server=None, use_ssl='True', username=None, password=None, profile=None)

Send a message to an SMTP recipient. Designed for use in states.

CLI Examples:

smtp.send_msg '[email protected]' 'This is a salt module test'             profile='my-smtp-account'
smtp.send_msg '[email protected]' 'This is a salt module test'             username='myuser' password='verybadpass' sender="[email protected]'             server='smtp.domain.com'
