    /Admin/commandLine/misc: Logging to the System Log

    This is actually more of a scripting thing, but what is a bash script except a collection of command lines....

    To send a bit of text to /var/log/syslog:

    logger Hello logging world!!

    If you wish the output of a particular line in the script to be logged:

    mysql -V | logger

    will send the MySQL version to syslog. If you wish to also capture errors (STDERR) output, this will do it:

    mysql < /path/to/a/sql/script.sql 2>&1 | logger

    will send both script and error output to syslog.

    /Admin/email/deliverability: You Want Your E-mail Delivered: Simple Steps

    You want the e-mail your mail server sends out delivered to an inbox, not to a SPAM folder. And certainly not bounced. Here are the simple things that you can do:

    port25.com[2] provides an excellant facility for testing your setup. Send an e-mail from your e-mail server to check-auth@verifier.port25.com or check-auth2@verifier.port25.com and they will send you an e-mail back showing your e-mail's hostname and SPF status, among other things.
