Lees Camp (also Lee's Camp) is an unincorporated community in Tillamook County, Oregon, United States.[1] It is along Oregon Route 6 about 25 miles (40 km) northeast of Tillamook at the confluence of the Wilson River and North Fork Wilson River, surrounded by the Tillamook State Forest.[2] It is near the summit of the Northern Oregon Coast Range.[3]


Lees Camp was established by Rex Lee, who in 1939 bought 16 acres (6.5 ha) of land on the Wilson River near the mouth of the North Fork from the Reeher family.[3] Lee developed the place as a tourist and sportsmen's camp called Lee's Wilson River Camp.[3] In 1947, a post office with the name Lee's Camp was established.[3] It was nearly in the same location as an earlier post office named Wilson, which ran from 1896 to 1917, with mail to Gales Creek.[3] Wilson post office served the Glenora station of the United States Weather Bureau.[3] The name Glenora was unacceptable to the Post Office Department for the name of the post office because of possible confusion with places such as Glenwood and Glendale.[3] Lee's Camp post office closed in 1977;[3] the community is now served by the Tillamook post office.


The Lees Camp Store, founded in the 1930s, serves as a travelers' landmark and focal point for area residents.[4]


As of October 2010, Lees Camp holds the record for most rainfall in 24 hours in Oregon: 14.3 inches (363 mm) on November 6, 2006.[5] As of 1956, Glenora held the previous state 24-hour rainfall record of 10.17 inches (258.3 mm) on December 21, 1915.[6]

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
