Examples from the news log follows: Feb 15 21:11:35.237 - imci5 <1996Feb15.210306.18737@netclub.ru> 437 Bad "Date" h eader -- "Thu, 15 Feb 1996 21:03:06 GMT" Feb 15 21:11:35.476 - imci5 <4g0iv0$9i7@news.csus.edu> 437 Bad "Date" header -- "16 Feb 1996 00:26:08 GMT" Feb 15 21:11:35.738 - imci5 <4g0sdv$n48@ccic.ifcss.org> 437 Bad "Date" header -- "Fri, 16 Feb 1996 02:44:02 GMT" Feb 15 21:11:35.975 - imci5 <0006QP$4f6@bbs.ccu.edu.tw> 437 Bad "Date" header -- "16 Feb 1996 02:52:06 GMT" Feb 15 21:11:36.224 - imci5 <3123f2d6.29939186@news.inmind.com> 437 Bad "Date" h eader -- "Fri, 16 Feb 1996 02:59:52 GMT" I've checked our other news servers, and articles rejected by this BSDI box are accepted by our other servers. All the servers are running INN 1.4 22-Dec-93. The servers that do work are running under SunOS 4.1.3, the server that doesn't work is the server that was installed with BSDI 2.1 Thanks, Randy
