RE: DATE_IN_FUTURE weirdness

[Jörg Wedekind]

Hello Andrew,

I had the same trouble on my server, first I figured out that the system 
compares always to the time when sendmail deamon war started.
All timestamps in the Mail-Headers looks OK. Using STARTTLS to submit a 
message generated also an outdated Reveived line in the transfered email.

I searched all logs and uses strace on the sendmail deamon, where I found the 
following:

[pid 15514] writev(5, [{"\0\0\0\177D", 5}, 
{"Rr\0ESMTP\0v\0008.14.4\0Z\0008.14.3/SuSE Linux 0.8\0b\0Wed, 1 Sep 2010 
20:56:11 +0200\0_\0xdsl-87-78-173-155.netc"..., 126}], 2) = 131

Sendmail was started on 1 Sep at 20:56:11 - 11 days ago.

So the fault in my case was a misconfiguration in the sendmail.cf on the 
milter definition. In my m4 file the following line was listed:

define(`confMILTER_MACROS_ENVRCPT',`r, v, Z, b, _')dnl

by removing this line from the m4 config file the issue was solved, but I 
thing I added this line because of this issue:
http://savannah.nongnu.org/support/?105310

Could anyone tell me what these MACROS are and what the Letters/Signs stands 
for?

Regards
Jörg
