Configure a datacenter mail relay through Office 365 based on Postfix using Puppet
When standing up a new greenfield environment, one of the first services you typically end up needing is an internal mail relay. We use Office 365, so we wanted to our mail relay to send mail through it. To do that I used Puppet along with a Puppet module from jlambert121, which you can find here. Note, I also used the Firewalld puppet module from crayfishx to manage my firewall ports on RHEL 7, which you can find here.
Once I had the puppet module installed, I was able to use the following puppet manifest.

#open the firewall ports
firewalld_service { 'Allow smtp from the external zone':

}
firewalld_port {
#open port 25 TCP for SMTP
'Open port 25 TCP in the public zone':
ensure => present,

}
