: Please give example.
The news log file was filled with messages that stated:
...(typical article identifier).. Bad "Date" header cannot parse date
line, article rejected
This is not an excact quote... something happened to my news log for the
day that when the problem occured. I grabbed the sources to inn-1.4 and
built my own working copy to solve the problem... BSDI's response was "It
works fine for us." THANKS A LOT!

They told me it was not the same problem, just misconfigured there will be
an offical patch out soon.
: What about Sendmail 8.7.3?
It seems to work OK, but I am getting a strange error message when I shut
the system down. I forget what the message was, but it indicated that it
could not exec sendmail. Maybe they are trying to flush the queue at
shutdown and its not working.. I don't know... will have to look into it
further.
