Another place to look is the IMAP sort extension. Section 2.2 of http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5256 says to treat invalid times as 00:00 which might be triggered by a leap second. Also since mailbox order is the tiebreaker (the sort must be stable) you can find out if your IMAP server treats xx:

AJust about all my servers and clients (FreeBSD, Windows, OSX) leapt as hoped, but a Soekris 4501 FreeBSD 8.2 server running ntp 4.2.4p5 didn't behave. From the ntpq -crv data I see that it did not reset the leap bits, though the clock offsets are ok and the new tai value is there. The system

According to RFC 5322 (and its predecessor RFC 2822), the Date: header that I'm putting on this message is valid: Date: Sun, 01 Jul 2012 00:59:60 +0100 I wonder how many MUAs will be unable to date-sort it. The header syntax is specified rather loosely: the BNF allows "99:99:99" as a tim

In preparation for leap second observation on various sources, I have just called the UK speaking clock a couple of times and found that it was 36 seconds slow. I would expect a little delay as I am calling on my mobile from France, but not that much. Is anyone in the UK seeing any unusual of
