Early life and family


Kanagentran was born on 14 September 1932.[1][2] He is the son of Kanagasabapathy, a station master from Nallur in northern Ceylon.[2] He was educated at St. John's College, Jaffna and Wesley College, Colombo.[2]



Career


Kanagentran worked at the Central Bank of Ceylon, eventually becoming head of the Tamil translation section in the Economic Research Department before retiring in 1980.[2][3]


Kanagentran was an active member of the Illankai Tamil Arasu Kachchi (ITAK) but in 1970 joined V. Navaratnam's Tamil Self Rule Party.[2][4] He later re-joined ITAK, which was now part of the Tamil United Liberation Front (TULF).[3][4] Kanagentran was president of the TULF's Colombo branch.[4] He was a victim of the 1977 riots.[4] He became a high profile advocate of Tamil Eelam and changed his name to Eelaventhan which means "King of Eelam" in Tamil.[4] In 1980 he and others left ITAK to form the Tamil Eelam Liberation Front (TELF).[2] Eelaventhan was TELF's secretary.[2]


With the escalation of violence Eelaventhan, like many Sri Lankan Tamil politician, moved to Tamil Nadu in 1981.[3] He and four others were arrested in Madras in February 1997 on charges of procuring medicine for the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam.[3][4] All five were acquitted in August 1999.[3] Eelaventhan was deported to Sri Lanka on 4 December 2000.[3][5]


Eelaventhan was appointed as a Tamil National Alliance National List MP in the Sri Lankan Parliament following the 2004 parliamentary election.[6][7] He forfeited his seat in Parliament in November 2007 for being asbsent for more than three months.[8][9]


Eelaventhan emigrated to Canada where in May 2010 he was elected to the Transnational Constituent Assembly of Tamil Eelam.[10]

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
