Sending mail from CentOS on Slicehost

When I first set up CainManor on slicehost, e-mail wasn’t working. The solution, based on this thread, was to install postfix.

apt-get install postfix  -Install postfix

edit /etc/postfix/main.cf

mydomain = cainmanor.com
myorigin = cainmanor.com
mynetworks_style = host

service postfix start -start the service to see if it works as expected.

chkconfig –list postfix - make sure it will start on boot.  The default install takes care of this

WP-Syntax

Let’s you use correct syntax on your code snippets, or rather - keeps WordPress from fucking up your code.

Download from here. To use, wrap your code with

<pre lang="LANGUAGE" line=”1″> and </pre>

line=”1″ is optional. This is based on syntax highlighting from GeSHI. You can visit their page for a full list of supported languages. The ones I care about are - or rather, may care about in the future:
