[Labs-l] role::mail::(sender|mx) conflict

[Tony Thomas]

The way I made an mx in my labs instance was :

   1. made the instance a self::puppetmaster
   2. remove 'include role::mail::sender' from class standard (
   manifests/site.pp )
   3. add 'include role::mail::mx' under node default( manifests/site.pp )
   4. remove 'include role::mail::sender' from role/labs.pp

That one did a successful puppet apply - and I got the mx configuration
alright. A minor issues is there -  '/etc/exim4/wikimedia_domains' is not
found for the exim to start - but upon creating that file - exim ran and
started listening on port 25.

This would necessarily need the labs machine becoming a self::puppetmaster,
but the better outcome - as per JGreen is:-

That would require a lot of dev works though, but the best way out.
