Category: Pipermail Group: 2.1 beta Status: Closed Resolution: Wont Fix Priority: 5 Submitted By: Mentor Cana (mcana) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: archived with bad dates / out of range

Initial Comment: Here is one of these messages with a bad date that when archived gets archived with the date of the archive task. So, when rebuilding archives it is archived wrongly.

Example: the message attached should be archived with a date of "Apr 9 2000" and instead gets archived with today's data if rebuild today.

There is an alternative that makes mailman "Do the Right Thing". Have mailman add an X-Mailman-Archived-Date header to the message if the Date header is missing or mangled (or perhaps optionally always). Then have the archiver use this header if the Date header is bogus (or always if you want to ignore the message date entirely).

Actually, sorry, if this /is/ the file you sent to me then Mailman is doing the right thing. The Date header in that message has a year of 100, which is totally bogus. Mailman has no other way to archive the file except by using the received date, so it's doing the correct thing.

I think this is one of several messages you've sent me that has broken date headers. Maybe your mail server needs fixing?

Oops, is this supposed to be the file you sent to me separately?

Mentor, there's no attached file. Did you forget to check the checkbox?
