This role introduces a paradox.

There are unknown cases in which by external dependencies the configuration is inapplicable.

Eg. system has ipv6 disabled but localhost in /etc/hosts is 127.0.0.1 and ::1. postfix will not start as it can not bind to ::1

Please solve the configuration paradox.

Can be solved by invoking postconf prior service start.

Wouldn't the fix be as simple as splitting the enable service and the start service? So in the main.yml change this

- name: Enable Postfix
  service:
    name: postfix
    state: started
    enabled: true

To this

- name: Enable Postfix
  service:
    name: postfix
    enabled: true

And then in the end of the file, in case it's run without applying a custom conf>

- name: Enable Postfix
  service:
    name: postfix
    state: started
