		<description>Here's a one-liner for converting all the remote branches to tags:

for B in $(git branch -r &#124; grep tags/ &#124; sed 's/ *tags\///'); do git tag $B tags/$B ; git branch -r -d tags/$B ; done</description>

		<description>Some things have improved since this post was written.  Amazon has improved their service relating to email sending by allowing users to setup reverse DNS for mail sending.  The form to raise your limits and set reverse DNS can be found here:  &lt;a href="https://aws-portal.amazon.com/gp/aws/html-forms-controller/contactus/ec2-email-limit-rdns-request" rel="nofollow"&gt;https://aws-portal.amazon.com/gp/aws/html-forms-controller/contactus/ec2-email-limit-rdns-request&lt;/a&gt;

This helps as long as you have a clean Elastic IP address.  Obviously, this still requires setting up your mail server, opening up the right ports and securing it.  

There are also some new services starting to get into the game with different pricing structures and API's than the traditional relay services.  One example is &lt;a href="http://elasticemail.com" rel="nofollow"&gt;http://elasticemail.com&lt;/a&gt;.</description>

		<description>If you are using the Rails Exception Notifier plug in it sends mail from 'exception.notifier@default.com' by default and AuthSMTP won't allow that so in config/initializers/exception_notifier.rb add a line "ExceptionNotifier.sender_address = %("Exception Notifier" )"</description>

		<description>An,

Make sure you you set the following:

myhostname = www.YOURDOMAIN.com
mydomain = YOURDOMAIN.com
myorigin = $mydomain

It's been a while since I wrote this article, and I haven't done any postfix configuration lately so if that doesn't help then I don't know what to suggest, but it did work for me.</description>

		<description>Hello,
  I have followed all the steps above but am facing a problem
Here is the problem
Assume my domain name is dn.com and i want to send mail from info@dn.com then i have made the necessary replacements in the postfix main.cf

I am using mail function in my php script and have made sure that the from header is info@dn.com. I have also registered info@dn.com in authsmtp
I dont know why, but when an email is sent it is sent as root@localhost.localdomain. As a result authsmtp rejects it and the email never reaches the recepient.
here is the error msg from authsmtp "Envelope From Address of  is not authorised"

Could you please help me with what is going wrong.

Thank you</description>

		<description>I'm an authsmtp user for a while. And things seem to have changed. Will this new reverse DNS for Amazon EC2 instance functionnality change the game?

I can’t wait for a blog post about it ;-)</description>

		<description>Hello!

Ezra's chef-deploy is ported directly into Chef now, so you can use a deploy resource in Chef as of version 0.7.12rc0. The documentation is located at:

http://wiki.opscode.com/display/chef/Deploy+Resource

It supports timestamp (a la Capistrano) or revision (a la Heroku) based deploys.</description>

The unreleased version available on my GitHub account has been substantially rewritten, it uses Passenger and Nginx. Unfortunately though, I don't have time to do any more work on EC2 on Rails, so I won't be making a release that includes these changes.

		<description>Hi Paul,

Congratulations on becoming a dad. It is a lot of fun. When my son was little, people would ask how old he was and then say "that's a great age." It would freak me out because I was certain that the "great age" would be followed by something less great. Over time I learned that all the ages are great.

Thank you for all your work on EC2 on Rails. It has helped me a great deal that you took care of details I didn't understand.

Enjoy your family and have a great life.
