Hello, I just found a little configuration error in all of the sendmail*.conf files (in action.d directory). This leads to very wrong timestamps when I receive an email, sent by fail2ban in Thunderbird Version 15.0.1 (Timestamp => 01.01.1970) My locales look like this: -------------------------- LANG=de_DE.utf8 LC_CTYPE="de_DE.utf8" LC_NUMERIC="de_DE.utf8" LC_TIME="de_DE.utf8" LC_COLLATE="de_DE.utf8" LC_MONETARY="de_DE.utf8" LC_MESSAGES="de_DE.utf8" LC_PAPER="de_DE.utf8" LC_NAME="de_DE.utf8" LC_ADDRESS="de_DE.utf8" LC_TELEPHONE="de_DE.utf8" LC_MEASUREMENT="de_DE.utf8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="de_DE.utf8" LC_ALL= ------------------------- Issuing the date command on my system gives me the following: # date Di 9. Okt 01:35:14 CEST 2012 witch is correct. The date for the date header is created like this (sendmail.conf): date -u +"%a, %d %h %Y %T +0000" That gives me the following: # date -u +"%a, %d %h %Y %T +0000" Mo, 08 Okt 2012 23:36:44 +0000 Obviously the time zone (+0000) is wrong because it should be (+0200), so I changed that, but with no effect. After some little bit of testing I found out, that Thundebird has problems with the month (Okt in German = Oct in English). When I changed from Okt to Oct, the timestamp was correct in Thunderbird. So I replaced the date command in sendmail.conf with this one: date -R witch gives me exaclty what I wanted (date and time in RFC 2822 format): # date -R Tue, 09 Oct 2012 01:41:37 +0200 Best regards, Alex
