There is a possible problem with nullmailer 1.03 and the handling of timezone or daylight savings time (not sure which) on Solaris (Sparc) 2.6 Included below are headers of a message sent at 1:13pm central (-0500). The Date: header is correct but I think that is supplied by the e-mail client (using the UNIX command-line "mail johncoy <at> anc.net" for this test). However, the Received: (nullmailer...) header has the wrong time. 13:11:40 -0500 should be 18:11:40 -0000 I verified my /etc/TIMEZONE file shows US/Central and that is the correct off-set (-0500) for daylight savings time. Looks to me like nullmailer is not properly calculating daylight savings time and is instead using -0600 as the timezone offset for US/Central -- Return-Path: <root <at> oracle.arkansas.net> Delivered-To: johncoy <at> arkansas.net Received: (qmail 29260 invoked by alias); 15 Dec 2006 19:11:40 -0000 Delivered-To: alias-johncoy <at> anc.net Received: (qmail 29255 invoked from network); 15 Dec 2006 19:11:40 -0000 Received: from oracle.anc.net (216.152.25.100) by arkansas.net with SMTP; 15 Dec 2006 19:11:40 -0000 Received: (nullmailer pid 3626 invoked by uid 0); Fri, 15 Dec 2006 19:11:40 -0000 To: johncoy <at> anc.net Subject: test at 1:13pm(Continue reading)
