The playbook can install and configure [Postmoogle](https://gitlab.com/etke.cc/postmoogle) for you.
It's a bot/bridge you can use to forward emails to Matrix rooms.
Postmoogle runs an email server through SMTP and allaws you to create mailboxes to the domain you define in the DNS settings.
Postmoogle runs an SMTP email server and allows you to assign mailbox addresses to Matrix rooms.
See the project's [documentation](https://gitlab.com/etke.cc/postmoogle) to learn what it does and why it might be useful to you.
## Prerequisites
### Ports
### Networking
Open the following ports on your server to be able to receive incoming emails:
Open the following ports to your server (without it you will not recive email, but you can still send):
- `25/tcp`: SMTP
- `587/tcp`: TLS-encrypted SMTP
- `587/tcp`: Submission (TLS-encrypted SMTP)
You can change the above default ports through the following variables in the playbook:
If you don't open these ports, you will still be able to send emails, but not receive any.
```yaml
# on-host ports
matrix_bot_postmoogle_smtp_host_bind_port: '25'
matrix_bot_postmoogle_submission_host_bind_port: '587'
```
These port numbers are configurable via the `matrix_bot_postmoogle_smtp_host_bind_port` and `matrix_bot_postmoogle_submission_host_bind_port` variables, but other email servers will try to deliver on these default (standard) ports, so changing them is of little use.

### DNS

### Debug/Logs
In case you need to debug declare:
As with all other services, you can find their logs in [systemd-journald](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd-journald.service.html) by running something like `journalctl -fu matrix-bot-postmoogle`
The default logging level for this bridge is `INFO`, but you can increase it to `DEBUG` with the following additional configuration:
```yaml
matrix_bot_postmoogle_loglevel: 'DEBUG'
```
And access it through `journalctl -fu matrix-bot-postmoogle`
