So my somewhat naive question: is HTML formatting acceptable in newsletters?

...there would be several solutions to this problem. 1. Ask the EPEL maintainers to keep the application up-to-date. 2. Patch the darn thing so I don't get the annoying popup. 3.

...er running CentOS 7. I transferred the domain name from DNS management to my registrar, configured BIND, Apache, Postfix, Dovecot, NTP, SELinux, etc. Now things are running rather nicely. One thing is puzzling me though. The updated mail server DNS seems to have spread around so far. $ host -t mx microlinux.fr microlinux.fr mail is handled by 10 mail.microlinux.fr. Unfortunately, some hosts seem to still keep the old DNS information, which was: $ host -t mx microlinux.fr microlinux.fr mail is handled by 10 mx1.nfrance.com.

Hi, I have CentOS 7 running on half a dozen public servers. For some stuff like automatic updates using yum-cron, I have Postfix installed with a relatively basic configuration. This allows me to send important notifications to my mail address info at microlinux.fr. When there's a batch of updates, I get one mail per machine, so I can check quickly if everything went OK without having to connect to the server. Now I'd also like to use this setup on machines that aren't in a datacenter and facing the Internet. For example, servers that have &qu...

...to HP, the printer requires HPLIP 3.16.3 at least. Unfortunately, CentOS is only shipping HPLIP 3.15.9. So I downloaded and installed the hplip/hplipfull package from the HP site. Installing this thing and getting it to work is not exactly a trivial task, as I documented in my blog: https://blog.microlinux.fr/hp-pagewide-pro-centos/ The printer and the scanner worked perfectly for some time. Now all of a sudden scanning won't work anymore, and I have an alert that the HP plugin must be installed. So I launched hp-plugin (as I already did on numerous similar installations before), but unfortuna...
