I'm not sure why you aren't seeing this. What verision of Cyrus? Uh, version 2.0.16 :-) Ah well... I doubt we will attempt an upgrade of any kind until the summer gets here... I am sure we can live without that functionality until then... otherwise, I will check out the code changes between 2.0.16 and 2.1.0 (can't be a lot in the LMTP area, right?) and backport them. Its a lot more than you think because of the change from SASL 1.5 to 2.x. 2.0.17 also add such a Recieved header. You should upgrade to 2.0.17 for security reason. True. I had to take a look at the CVS archive to notice this. Note that it doesn't include any TLS info. Wait, 2.0.17 doesn't support STARTTLS. I'd just upgrade to 2.0.17. -- Kenneth Murchison Oceana Matrix Ltd. Software Engineer 21 Princeton Place 716-662-8973 x26 Orchard Park, NY 14127 --PGP Public Key--http://www.oceana.com/~ken/ksm.pgp
Received: headers after LMTP delivery
I find it useful to look at the Received headers to track the path the email might have taken to get from the desktop to the mailbox when we are having problems. Particularly, I look at the delays between hops to find out if one of our machines is holding onto mail a lot longer than it should be. I know that the first hop (desktop to the server) may not reflect an accurate time, since it looks like to me that the time on the PC is what is often reflected in the first Received header. The problem I am having is determining when a message physically gets delivered by LMTP to the mailbox. I can see the last Received line in the path, which is one mail server handing the message off to the last mail server which contains the IMAP server (LMTP is running on localhost only). Then after that, I see the Return-Path line in the header, which I know gets added by LMTP when it delivers the message. What is missing is the time that this occurred, as I have no idea how long it sat in the sendmial queue on the server before it was handed to LMTP. Would it be possible to have LMTP add a similar Received line right before it adds the Return-Path line that indicates the time of delivery? I haven't read the RFC's to see if there are any specific rules for how the Received lines would look, but it would be nice to see it indicate that the message was received by LMTP for delivery at a specific time.
