I'm sorry that I misunderstood you when you said Date. I thought you meant the Date header not the Delivery-date header. The Delivery-date header is a non-standard header that was probably added by your ISPs mail server (MH and nmh perform this action as well as some others). OK, let's start with the Date header. This shows that you sent mail on 22 Sep at 02:43:17 -0500 or 5 hours west of UTC (new Universal Time Coordinated which is the old GMT). We can either convert all time to UTC or to some convenient time. Ill use the -0500 offset which is either CDT or EST. Your mail server received the mail, processed it, and handed it off on 22 Sep at 03:45:40 -0400 which we can convert to 02:45:40 -0500. So you mailer took 2 minutes and 23 seconds to process your message. The mailer then delivered the message to your mailbox (Delivery date) on 22 Sep at 15:43:12 -0400 which we convert to 14:43:12 -0500. This implies that your ISP has misconfigured their server by about 12 hours. Again, sorry about the misunderstanding. So the answer is yes, your hosting ISP has a time problem on their mail handling program. You should probably send this same set of headers to them and ask them to check. -- Gerry Boyd ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
