elm wrong hour

Starrynight_1 — Tue, 14 May 2002 14:13:54 GMT

Hello everyone

when sending mail using sendmail, date and time are correct. But when sending message using elm - command line not interface, the date and time are incorrect.
Where as sendmail is using TZ environment setting as configured in sendmail.cf what does elm use ?

Thanks in advance

Regards.

SN

do you have a $HOME/.elm/elmrc

file?

Is it equal to the difference between TZ and gmt?

Hi,

This is a long shot, but :-

The timezone kernel parameter could be wrong.
We've set ours to

timezone 0

to get round issues with the wrong time being reported in the syslog. This may help. Perhaps you could try it on a test server.

HTH,

Dave.

Hi again

No, I don??t have the $HOME/.elm/elmrc file (I??ve tryied that one too), I just have the last_read_mail file in the $HOME/.elm directory.

And about the timezone, all is correct - that was the first aproach!

I hope you can help me with this info :-)

Regards

Hi,

The time stamp the recipient sees is affixed by the receiving system & progresses backwards from relay server - to - relay server.
I'd have the recipient check the time on the receiving system. You can look at the SMTP headers to see exactly what time each server was stamping.

HTH,
Jeff
