It was noticed today that the mails, which are sent from various machines, gets the dates of the local machines and not the mail server.
For some testing,I made my machine's date as February 5, 2005. All my mails sent yesterday went out with that date only, though the server date was May 4, 2004. Ofcourse now I changed my sysdate however this was not happening earlier with sendmail.
Helppppppppppppppppppppp
Yep, that's how email works.
The sender's email client is responsible for the Date header. Servers add their date in the Received headers. It might be possible to modify qmail-smtpd to replace the Date header if there aren't any Received headers (i.e., it's the original message injection).
