We have used the verbal system, but what about the musical subsystem of the auditory system of the brain? For many people the activation of this system by a particular kind of music leads to a relaxing effect. Note that the music might well not be a gentle flute. There are people who find a heavy drum-beat relaxing.



What does "might well not be" mean in the above text? What can be used instead of that phrase?

'might well not be' means almost exactly the same as 'might not be'



The 'well' is just used for emphasis.



Look at this previous thread https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/235501/difference-between-may-and-may-well



EDIT



Some alternatives (including some of Andrew's suggestions).




Note that the music isn't necessarily a gentle flute.



Note that the music could be something other than a gentle flute.



Note that the music might well not be a gentle flute.



Note that the music doesn't have to be a gentle flute.



Note that the music is not required to be a gentle flute.

Postfix configuration issue with fips on centos 7; mailgun relay

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 0 down vote favorite I am trying to setup postfix to relay all mail generated on the local machine via SMTP to a mailgun relay. I have used the mailgun relay before with success on an ubuntu server, but I am migrating to a Centos 7 server which I will be running in FIPS mode. There error log is below, slightly sanitized. I have a small enough network that I choose to have each machine reach out to mailgun individually (this the loopback-only, 127.0.0.0/8 restrictions) and no firewall open port allowing smtp in to the machine. I assume the FIPS mode (and with it disabling of MD5) is causing problems, but I don't know how to overcome it or if it is even possible for tls_fprint to use some supported hash such as sha256 or sha512. However, the relay=none is slightly concerning since I have relayhost set, but perhaps that is because the smtp process is failing? Any help would be appreciated! postconf -n: alias_database = hash:/etc/alia
