Description:   Opened: 2006-08-29 02:18 0000 
When ssmtp is compiled against uclibc, it will create funny date headers:

Date: Tue, %_d Aug 2006 06:03:21 +0000 UV

Note the %_d.

This is because ssmtp uses a gnu extention in strftime. (see man strftime under
"GLIBC NOTES", _ (underscore))

I did a quick check what they do in Freebsd (since they dont use gnu libc) and
as I suspected, there was a patch:

        time_t now;

        /* RFC822 format string borrowed from GNU shellutils date.c */
-       const char *format = "%a, %_d %b %Y %H:%M:%S %z";
+       const char *format = "%a, %e %b %Y %H:%M:%S %z";

        now = time(NULL);


The solution should be to use the portable %e instead of GNU specific %_d.

Could this patch please be applied? It does not hurt GNU systems and it solves
a real problem on non-GNU systems. (like uclibc freebsd)

------- Comment #4 From Natanael Copa 2008-03-17 13:07:20 0000 ------- 
Whats the status here? 

This patch is really trivial. Could someone just commit and get done with it?
(or at least close with a WONTFIX so know I'll have to maintain it my local
overlay)

This one has been fixed upstream in 2.62 which just hit CVS. Please test and
re-open if this bug still occurs.
