I'm getting repeated email (KMail) error messages about one apparently over-large post: -------------------------- Received: from helen.gayleard.com (localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1]) by helen.gayleard.com (Postfix) with ESMTP id E4500294A0 for <tim at helen.gayleard.com>; Sat, 24 Jan 2015 14:00:05 +0000 (GMT) Received: (from tim at localhost) by helen.gayleard.com

I recently, perhaps foolishly, changed over a remote server from sendmail/procmail to postfix/amavis/spamassassin/clamd , and I'm finding it difficult to configure this setup. The CentOS document <http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/postfix> explicitly says that its instructions may not work in CentOS-6. Does anyone know of reasonably simple postfix documentation for CentOS-6? I've been

I'm trying to setup email on a new server running CentOS-6.2 (x86_64), but for some reason email is going to /var/spool/mail/ despite the fact that my .procmailrc starts ------------------------------- DEFAULT=/var/spool/mail MAILDIR=/home/tim/Maildir/ SHELL=/bin/sh DROPPRIVS=yes ------------------------------- and I have ------------------------------- MAILER(smtp)dnl MAILER(procmail)dnl

I see that mail sent from a remote computer never leaves the computer, the last entry in /var/log/maillog being "Queued mail for delivery". 1. What is likely to cause this message? I know I registered with my remote mail server with a different name to my name on the computer. Is that likely to be the cause of my problem? And if so, what is the solution? Or is there any other likely

I'm trying to install spamassassin on a postfix/dovecot server, running CentOS-6.4, following the instructions at <http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Amavisd>. I think I have taken all the steps indicated, and the configuration seems to pass the tests suggested, although the response is much more sparse than that described: ------------------------ [tim at alfred ~]$ telnet localhost 10024

I've been following the instrunctions in <http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Amavisd> for installing Amavisd, Clamav and SpamAssassin on top of postfix/dovecot . Dovecot is working fine, but I want to deal with spam email. (I am using sendmail/dovecot with procmail and spamassassin on another server, but decided to go over to postfix on this server when I saw it is now the CentOS default.)

I'm running httpd-2.4.6-31.el7.centos.1.x86_64 under CentOS-7 (kernel 3.10.0-229.14.1.el7.x86_64). I cannot get the httpd userdir facility working; when I try to access localhost/Menloe I get the message "You don't have permission to access /Menloe on this server." I see in /var/log/httpd/error_log "Symbolic link not allowed or link target not accessible:

Does anyone know if the program stunbdc, which prints one's IP address, is available in CentOS-5? It comes with the libnice package in Fedora-11. ------------------------------ [tim at rose ~]$ stunbdc -4 stun.ekiga.net Server address: 75.101.138.128 port 3478 STUN transaction started (timeout 600ms).

Has the CentOS logo disappeared from CentOS-7? I thought the logo in CentOS-6 was very pleasant. Also I liked the way in which one increasing circle inside another showed how the boot was progressing. The dots going round and round in Microsoft fashion in CentOS-7 is a retrograde step, I think. One always has the fear it might continue forever. -- Timothy Murphy gayleard /at/ eircom.net School

I have a CentOS-5.6 remote server in a house in Italy, where there are occasional thunder-storms. There was one yesterday, when the electricity went off 3 times, for a second or so on each occasion. My server, an HP MicroServer, came back (re-booted) on 2 of the 3 occasions, but not on the third. I assume that the problem arises because the machine does not close down properly. (Although it is

Anyone got a recommendation for a cheap (but good) colour laser printer that runs under CentOS-5.5 ? -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland

My CentOS-7 home server has a static IP address. Is there a simple way of organizing the hpptd server so that it is accessible through this address at a remote host, but is accessed at its 192.168 address by a laptop on the WiFi LAN? -- Timothy Murphy gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin

My HP MicroServer crashes with a kernel panic when booted into kernel-3.10.0-327.3.1.el7.x86_64, but runs perfectly under kernel-3.10.0-229.20.1.el7.x86_64 . I've been trying to save the panic message with kdump, but am not sure how one can configure kdump to do this, if indeed that is possible. -- Timothy Murphy gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin

What is the advantage, if any, of running one's own DNS server? Surely the link between domain name and IP address must already have been established? -- Timothy Murphy gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin

I bought a very cheap server yesterday - an HP ProLiant micro server for 160 euro (280 euro with 120 cashback, for some reason). But I was surprised when I opened the box to find it didn't come with keyboard or mouse, and doesn't have the old keyboard/mouse sockets, but requires USB versions. Is that the norm nowadays? Is it possible to convert the old keyboard/mouse plugs? Also there is

If I boot into CentOS on my home server from a Live CD or USB stick and go to Troubleshoot, it lists OS's it finds on the machine. How does it find these OS's? Presumably it looks through all the partitions on all the hard disks for something that looks like an OS? But how exactly does it identify an OS? -- Timothy Murphy gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College,

I read that Redhat was offering their Linux free, and downloaded the ISO, though I haven't run it. What do CentOS users think of Redhat's offer? The registration with Redhat seemed very bureaucratic to me, and I'm not sure if I have carried it out properly. Also, I didn't see if it was possible to get updates, either with dnf or some other way. I've been (and am) very

Probably. The fact remains that booting was attractive, and now it isn't. --
