BT Internet SMTP Authentication (with Exim for Example)

If you're having trouble with SMTP authentication on mail.btinternet.com, try smtp.mail.yahoo.com instead. The BT one redirects to a Yahoo one anyway.

rssfwd Is Dead, Long Live rss2email

I really like having the few RSS feeds that I follow forwarded to my inbox. For a long time I relied on the ever increasingly flaky rssfwd. Since rssfwd finally died a death I have been looking out for a similar service, and eventually came across rss2email, which is now happily installed and running on my server (so easy to setup!). One friend helpfully described rss2email as "old news", so this blog post goes out to anyone else who might have missed it.
