There is a Mail Filtering server as well as a Mail server involved in this process, all of which we do not have direct access to, so I can not verify the locale of either.
That said, I understand the line of thinking, but I don't think the Mail server is the cause, because the dates found in the mail headers are all formatted correctly. The problem is the dates found in the content of the e-mails and tasks within sharepoint. E.g. if you are assigned a task, the following e-mail is generated ********* Start e-mail *********** From: xxx [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, 22 September 2008 4:36 PM To: Andrew Salano Subject: Tasks - Please approve default has been assigned to you Task assigned by Andrew Salano on 9/22/2008.

This issue is obvious when the day is over 12. Otherwise it is very difficult to realize that there is a problem, which is causing a lot of confusion for the end users. Has anyone seen this issue before (and have a fix / workaround), or have I done something wrong? Any help or information would be greatly appreciated.
