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 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
## Adjusting the playbook configuration
### Networking
Open the following ports on your server to be able to receive incoming emails:
- `25/tcp`: SMTP
- `587/tcp`: Submission (TLS-encrypted SMTP)
If you don't open these ports, you will still be able to send emails, but not receive any.
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.
### Adjusting the playbook configuration

### Debug/Logs
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'
```
