I have the same problem :-)
In message <5.1.1.6.0.20030212075718.03bf88d8@pop3.demon.co.uk>, Richard Barrett writes:
The reported error is that the time.mktime function is being called with a year value outside the range 1970 to 2038, that is outside the epoch known by the C functions for date handling on the platform.
The question of why this date has cropped up is more difficult to determine.
Yup. This happens irregularly for me, but once a "corrupt" message is in the archive.mbox file it is repeatable.
I've looked at the message causing the problem (both in the queue files and in the archive .mbox file) and *I* can't see a poorly formatted date. Granted, my eyes aren't what they used to be.
My error log and shunted qfiles are available at <http://www.cfrq.net/~chk/mailman-error.tar>, if any developers want a test case for this bug (which is related to #610265).
