Hi,
Every now and then I have a close look at the headers of my sent
mail.
This time I observed a funny time difference. This is a header
of a mail sent to this list (shortened for better reading and
all times converted to GMT):
Delivery-date: Tue, 21 Mar 2000 19:32:39
Received: by mx01.kundenserver.de

------------> 51 minutes difference

The difference on the last hop may be caused by delay at
mandrakesoft or mx01.
But the difference between the 3. and 4. hop can only be
explained by different times on the servers.
You may check it in this mail's header as well.
So I checked more mails and found out that this 25minutes
difference is always between a sending server and mandrakesoft.
To verify that the sending server has the correct time I looked
at mails to other addresses and found the timeline matching my
ISP's server. That implies that mandrakesoft has a faulty time
set on their server.
Or do I get something wrong? Or is this fact known for ages to
all the world but me?
