Re: time error on qmail
Thanks for the replies from Martin Gignac and Timothy Mayo -- I see how now. But for mails sent for local it does not make sense to use GMT time stamp. Any way to let it use local time? BTW, I noted mailx and qmail's sendmail use GMT time while mails sent by pine uses local time. Is that all outgoing mails triger qmail-inject? (I checked pine man page but didn't get a clue) Zhiliang On Thu, 18 May 2000, Timothy L. Mayo wrote: Date: Thu, 18 May 2000 13:57:22 -0400 (EDT) From: Timothy L.

time error on qmail
qmail has been working on my site for a while. Everything has been fine except - when a mail is trigerred by a CGI program, which is using the "sendmail" replacement provided by qmail, the time stamp on the qmail delivery lines are 5 hours ahead of actual time, ALTHOUGH the time generated by the CGI program itself is correct. (see below for an actual example; Note: time stamps on other mail deliveries are correct). Any hints?

Re: time error on qmail
I believe qmail headers use GMT, unlike sendmail which seems to use the local TZ. I don't how and if it's possible to change this, though. ___ | MARTIN GIGNAC| | Network Technician, | / ) | Hostmaster, Postmaster| / / | CINAR Corporation | ( ( | Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | (((\ \ |/ ) Phone: (514) 282-3691 | ( \_/ /_| \ / \_/ / / / / - Original Message - From: "Zhiliang Hu" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, May 18, 2000 1:09 PM Subject: time error on qmail qmail has been working on my site for a while.
