Subject: Using Exim as a controlled relayer
I've managed to get the Exim + Pgsql setup working.

For the domains I'm hosting I have a set of records which contain an email
address within the domain and an delivery email address, e.g.

user@hosted.domain ->           gary.stainburn@ringways.co.uk

When I test this using

exim -bt user@hosted.domain

it works fine, but when I try to send an email it fails

relay not permitted.

Obviously i do not want to turn on relaying, so how can I configure Exim to
allow emails that have matched a record in the user table to be forwarded?

"noauto" is your friend and the last bit to zero which indicates at least "no fsck"
never configure temporary drives as like built-in ones

you could add the following to /etc/yum.conf
"clean_requirements_on_remove=1"

You mean like the one in my set-top box?

package-cleanup can also be useful in this context.

Subject: Fedora 18 network printer setup
I have a Brother DCP-7065dn printer scanner connected to my LAN.

Sadly, it requires a proprietary driver.  I've installed that.
<http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/index.html>

I asked the System Settings: Printers to set it up (add the printer).
The SS:P found the printer (so it must have found its IP address) and
added it.  But the SS:P was only willing to configure it with the IP
Address "localhost".  Not surprisingly, printing didn't work.

I even tried telling SS:P the printer's IP address, but it ignored
that and used localhost.

I used SS:P to remove the printer again.

I used the CUPS web server to add the printer (as suggested on the
Brother page).  That worked.  My printer has a static IP address,
which made pointing Firefox at it easier.

Why would Systems Settings: Printers not be able to add this network
printer?

That should not be necessary.  And would break a very normal system
setup of using separate drives, even more so than the blasted can't have
a separate /usr thing that happened recently.

I've used separate home drives, in the past, as a very simple way of
being able to safely update a server without any chance of screwing up
user data.  Others have used separate swap drives as a way of speeding
up swap, should you ever be stuck with having to make use of it.  It's
bad enough to have to use a drive for swap space, without having to put
up with the thrashing of alternating between swapping and everything
else it's trying to access on the drive.

Anyway, I note the original poster says they've solved their problem.

It strikes me that the "snoopy" services will probably have no trouble
reading something as un-bizarre as ext4.  I dare say that such things
are child's play to them.  It would be a tech that would assess
hardware, not just any member of their staff.

I would, also, think carefully about whether you really do need the
force flag.  Some people just jam that in out of habit.

Bearing in mind your bowlderised example, my simplistic answer would be
to use real domain names (that you own) in your network.  Things work a
lot easier when you don't use fake domain names.  Being able to email
between machines, for just one example.

Reminded me of another dangerous habit some people get into - exiting

That's odd.  What output does this command give?:

su -c 'lpinfo -l -v'

(I'm hoping it lists the network printer there...)
