+module: bigip_smtp
+short_description: Manages SMTP settings on the BIG-IP
+description:
+  - Allows configuring of the BIG-IP to send mail via an SMTP server by
+    configuring the parameters of an SMTP server.
+version_added: 2.6
+options:
+  name:
+    description:
+      - Specifies the name of the SMTP server configuration.
+    required: True
+  partition:
+    description:
+      - Device partition to manage resources on.
+    default: Common
+  smtp_server:
+    description:
+      - SMTP server host name in the format of a fully qualified domain name.
+      - This value is required when create a new SMTP configuration.
+  smtp_server_port:
+    description:
+      - Specifies the SMTP port number.
+      - When creating a new SMTP configuration, the default is C(25) when
+        C(encryption) is C(none) or C(tls). The default is C(465) when C(ssl)
+         is selected.
+  local_host_name:
+    description:
+      - Host name used in SMTP headers in the format of a fully qualified
+        domain name. This setting does not refer to the BIG-IP system's hostname.
+  from_address:
+    description:
+      - Email address that the email is being sent from. This is the "Reply-to"
+        address that the recipient sees.
+  encryption:
+    description:
+      - Specifies whether the SMTP server requires an encrypted connection in
+        order to send mail.
+    choices:
+      - none
+      - ssl
+      - tls
+  authentication:
+    description:
+      - Credentials can be set on an SMTP server's configuration even if that
+        authentication is not used (think staging configs or emergency changes).
+        This parameter acts as a switch to make the specified C(smtp_server_username)
+        and C(smtp_server_password) parameters active or not.
+      - When C(yes), the authentication parameters will be active.
+      - When C(no), the authentication parameters will be inactive.
+    type: bool
+  smtp_server_username:
+    description:
+      - User name that the SMTP server requires when validating a user.
+  smtp_server_password:
+    description:
+      - Password that the SMTP server requires when validating a user.
+  state:
+    description:
+      - When C(present), ensures that the SMTP configuration exists.
+      - When C(absent), ensures that the SMTP configuration does not exist.
+    required: False
+    default: present
+    choices:
+      - present
+      - absent
+  update_password:
+    description:
+      - Passwords are stored encrypted, so the module cannot know if the supplied
+        C(smtp_server_password) is the same or different than the existing password.
+        This parameter controls the updating of the C(smtp_server_password)
+        credential.
+      - When C(always), will always update the password.
+      - When C(on_create), will only set the password for newly created SMTP server
+        configurations.
+    default: always
+    choices:
+      - always
+      - on_create
+extends_documentation_fragment: f5
+notes:
+  - Requires the netaddr Python package on the host. This is as easy as
+    C(pip install netaddr).
+requirements:
+  - netaddr
