Hi,
my MTA is qmail. The date of my machine is set correctly (I'm already using ntp, by the way). Other mails sent from this machine have the correct date.
But I could fix the problem by using Mark's tip. It was a Mailman bug.
Thanks!
Torsten

Brad:
It seems to be worse than not having the date set. The MTA itself is behaving very badly by setting the sent date to 0 seconds since the January 1, 1970 (standard zero time in UNIX).
The chances that ALL messages are dated January 1, 1970 because of a time synchronization problem are pretty slim, since machines don't default to much later dates than 1990 now-a-days.
Whomever wrote that MTA did a poor job of handling a "no Date" header" situation.

Mailman 2.1.5 does not include a Date: header on the messages it sends out. Since this header is required by the SMTP RFCs, it is up to the MTA to put an appropriate Date: header onto the outgoing message. The server for your MTA must have an incorrectly set clock.
I suggest that you have that machine configured to run "ntpd", suitably configured. There's some information at <http://ntp.isc.org/bin/view/Support/WebHome> to help you get this going.
