I think bsmtp uses some date functions which are specific to the LOCAL setting. So "Fri, 03 Mar 2006 10:37:33" becomes "Fri, 03 Mär 2006 10:37:33" in german locale, which is not a valid RFC2822 date header. Most mail clients interprets this invalid value as 01.01.1970 . A "unset LOCAL" before calling the bsmtp binary should fix this. I just observed this these days, because März is the only month in german with umlauts in its name. ;-) -- Georg ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
