double you tee eff

Anyone have any insight as to why some of the email I'm getting is timestamped correctly, and others are timestamped 12 hours in the future?

I've checked my computer's date/time settings, and they're correct (and confirm with the Big Clock In The Sky as well).

Assuming that I'm reading your message correctly, the emails aren't being held in some mystery-queue for 12 hours, but the timestamp shows them "off" by 12 hours when they are received?

I think it's worth calling the domain admin for the luciousmango.com domain and explaining to their tech support what's happening with your e-mail timestamps. I'm 99% sure that's where the problem lies, on their SMTP server. Simple mistake -- probably forgot to use military time in the evening or something equally explainable.

I've just filed a trouble ticket. Looking at my deleted mail, it seems to have started around 3:22am, so I can be relatively confident that I didn't screw anything up manually. :)

Thanks for the suggestion! I love that you have my back on this stuff.

Last I knew, your front was previously spoken for. *rimshot*


No problem. I just know it's not a problem on your computer. It's more a process of eliminating other possibilities at that point... and knowing where the possibilities might take you. I am confident, however, we found the culprit for this one. Keep me posted, if for nothing else, my curiosity!

'Twas indeed a server problem; they have "made the necessary changes and rebooted," and now all is well.

Thank god! I was all confused having to look in two places for new mail! ;)
