Hello,
seems like you're not reading the suggestions we sent you. So read
this accurately:
- name: Sending mail
mail:
host: smtp.gmail.com
port: 587
username: [email protected]
password: my_pass
subject: Deleted files overview
to: Sandy toshev <my_user_name@my_domain>
body: |
sender: [email protected]
Deleted some files - {% for f in files_to_delete.files %}f, {% endfor %}
as you can notice, sender is indented by *two spaces*. That's the
error ansible is reporting you. Your playbook is an invalid yaml,
that's why doesn't work.
