 I encountered the following error in compiling qmail in my redhat
 7.1 machine. Appreciate any idea to solve this problem.

Did you create the user alias?

 Hi all.
 
 I'm using qmail-1.03, and it's working ok.
 Yesterday, I change the way to start qmail from tarball/INSTALL docs
 to LWQ. The problem is that the logs don't says (in human readable
 format), the date and time of each event. Instead of that, I see
 lines like 
 
 @40003b535a1736077d54 tcpserver: ok 7541 0:10.1.1.1:25 :10.1.1.194::2525
 
 How can I configure qmail startup process to log the events date and
 time like syslog? (Jul 17 12:03:00 host process: blah, blah, blah...)

As others have pointed out, you should use tai64nlocal from the
daemontools package to convert these timestamps.

If you use GNU less for viewing logs, see

for instructions on how to do this conversion automatically.

 Terrific tip! this is how I got it to work on Redhat 7.0:
 
 # pwd
 /usr/bin
 # diff lesspipe.sh lesspipe.sh.orig
  \@*.s) tai64nlocal  $1 ;;
  # http://www.orakel.ntnu.no/~kjetilod/tips/
 # export LESSOPEN=|/usr/bin/lesspipe.sh %s

You should probably save your modified lesspipe.sh in ~/bin; otherwise
it might be lost in an upgrade.

I have added a paragraph for Red Hat users.  If anyone has information
about lesspipe on other platforms, email me and I'll add them.

 tai64n timestamps aren't supposed to be human readable.  They're supposed to
 be easily parsable by programs.  That's the whole point of tai64nlocal -- you
 log with tai64n timestamps, and if you want to read the log with
 human-readable timestamps, you do:
 tai64nlocal  log | pager_of_choice

If you use GNU less, you can convert the timestamp automatically by
using the LESSOPEN environment variable.

I have a short write-up on how to do this at
