I'm not sure why it doesn't do anything, it should remove the entire 'smtpd_helo_restrictions' parameter from the configuration file. > - name: 'smtpd_helo_restrictions' > value: > - name: 'reject_unknown_helo_hostname' > state: 'comment' > > => Comments out the whole smtpd_help_restrictions block. That's correct, it should comment out the entire section. The indentation is important in this case. If you want to remove 'reject_unknown_helo_hostname', set in the inventory: #v+ --- postfix__maincf: - name: 'smtpd_helo_restrictions' value: - name: 'reject_unknown_helo_hostname' state: 'absent' #v- This should do the trick.

You won't be able to comment it out, just remove it.
