A bit of folk lore... Unix is considered to have been invented 12:00:00 AM January 1, 1970 (GMT). A Unix clock contains exactly the number of seconds that has elapsed since that date.
These seconds are stored in a timestruct structure usually 32 bits in size. When the value of this variable is zero, that means zero seconds have elapsed since 1970. So this is really just an indication of an uninitialized variable. I have encountered strange behavior when I added a user account to the dbmail user table and the last_login value was left to an uninitialized value... **But** when I changed the last_login value to something like " 1979-11-03 22:05:58 " the errors went away! So I just left date and continued since it will get overwritten on the next login anyway... I wonder if this is related to your problem as well?? Did you recently add a user without using the command line tool, like I did? > > Any Idea on why the dbmail-imapd thinks the date is 1970?? > > ?Bad date in append: 0-???-1970 00:00:00 +0000 > ?Can't append message 7 to mailbox
