[tpop3d-discuss] Help with incorrect received date on microsoft clients

Thu, 30 Oct 2003 10:07:50 +0200

Chris & Dave

What i do know is this.
1. It is not tpop3d causing it - tried cucipop and results still the same.
2. It is not amavisd-new causing it - disabled amavis in the exim configure
and results still the same.

As far as i can see the date header format stays the same between older exim
version and 4.24.

Here is a sample message i sent. I edited the date headers while in the
mailbox file, each an hour apart. The date with the 12:00:00 time is the one
that outlook express is using since the received date comes through as 4th
October 2001 12:00:00

The contents of the mailbox file:

And now the contents of the outlook express message source.

And after that i'm stumped. Its obviously something that microsoft has
catered for in versions 5.5 and above but i can't see what and how to fix
it.

Help needed.
