Mail delivery problems and incorrect time stamps

I'm running Server 10.4.9 and along with hosting two webpages I am hosting email for one of the domains. Whenever a message is received by an account hosted by my server, the time listed for receiving the email is incorrect. It varies from 1 to 4 hours fast or slow depending on the source of the email. It happens with both incoming and outgoing mail. If a message is sent from one account to another on my server, the time stamp is correct.
In addition to the incorrect time, I have noticed messages directed to one account being delivered to another. For example, in my own mailbox I recieve messages that were intented to go to another user mailbox on my server. I don't know if that is related to the same problem or if it is a spam issue but I figure any bit of information will be helpful.
And finally, I do not believe all mail is reaching the intended mailbox. I have junkmail and notjunkmail accounts enabled for spam and if I redirect 10 emails usually only 5 at the most will make it. I get no return errors when redirecting (ex: undeliverable)
I have checked the obvious time and date panels in OS X including the server admin and everything matches. The timezone is also correct. I type date into the terminal and that comes up correct as well. This isn't my first time configuring a server.... I've hosted mail servers with 10.2 and 10.3 in the past with no problems but this is my first time using 10.4. I'm pretty comfortable navigating through the server, but I have limited experience in terminal. (Just for FYI) Usually with enough time I can figure almost anything out, but I've run out of ideas here. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks...

Where are you looking at the timestamp? On the message headers? Are you taking into account any timezone corrections on same headers? E.g. following message sent from Apple HQ to UK...
Received: from uk2mxserver3-10.uk2.net ... Sun, 15 Apr 2007 10:24:34 +0100 (BST)
Received: from bz3.apple.com ... Sun, 15 Apr 2007 10:24:31 +0100
Received: from acutil03.apple.com ... Sun, 15 Apr 2007 02:24:22 -0700 (PDT)
Otherwise you will need to post examples.

What does the mail.log show for these messages? You should be able to track them moving through the system.

  • VOICE MEMOS and Wrong Time Stamps in Itunes

    I've noticed that my voice memos in the new iTunes 11.1.3 (8) have incorrect time stamps all over them now. This is a real problem for me, since I need the dates that the messages were recorded. I just tested this out by recording a new one today (2/11/14) on my new Iphone 5s. It showed up dated 8/13/12 2:13pm. My phone has the correct date on it, so what gives?
    Any solutions out there?
    Not to mention the fact that there are NUMEROUS DUPLICATES of previous memos that have become weird artifacts in my iTunes library each time I've backed up my materials. AND the new iTunes setup makes it incredibly hard to *actually remove data* from my system. I am concerned my private material is no longer private, but being archived elsewhere for meta-data purposes.
    C'mon, Apple. You're really slipping.

    I see all timezones, have you tried setting the time/date manually? I'd do than, then pop an email to support.

  • Jabber Voicemail Incorrect Time Stamp

    I just noticed the the time stamp on my voicemails in Jabber v9.0.1 Build 12296 have the incorrect time stamp. They are all one hour behind. I confirmed that this does not happen in any of the following:
    Jabber v9.0.5
    CUPC v8.6
    Jabber for Mac v8.6.1
    Is this happening to anyone else?

    did you get this sorted out?  Im having the same problem with Jabber v9.1.5, CUC 9.1.2 and cucm 9.1.2.  Both cuc and cucm use the same NTP time source.  Time looks fine on the handsets and from the cli..

  • Appending and add time stamp at a time........

    Hi all,
    i am working on a scenario...
    it is file based..no mapping and bpm can be used.
    I need to pick up file through xi and append it and put in the target with time stamp to it.
    we can achieve this if mapping or bpm is allowed.....
    But,in file processing we can use only one option at a time.....
    I found a way:
    scenario one: files will be appened and kept in a temparory folder
    using another scenario we will pick up the appeneded file and add time stamp and keep in target structure...
    but i dont think this is advisable...
    please suggest me any other ways to achieve this...(can run operating system command be helpfull??)
    thanks in advance..
    Regards,
    Kiran.

    HI,
    Yes you are right, Appending and adding Time Stamp will not be possible simultaneously.

    /people/william.li/blog/2006/04/18/dynamic-configuration-of-some-communication-channel-parameters-using-message-mapping
    But some how you have to use mapping for it. Then if its allowed to use the mapping then as you have suggested, should have to go for two scenarios. No alternative,
    Probably also you can try with Customized Adapter Module for this.

  • I have a psts on my mac and the time stamp hasnt changed since i added this to the mac even though they have been imported?

    i have a psts on my mac and the time stamp hasnt changed since i added this to the mac even though they have been imported?
    where is the data stored when i moves messages to the imported pst?
    after serval months of rebuidling and creating new identites for Outlook for mac2010 any reasons why this is constantly happening?

    I am not sure what you mean by this.
    is it ok to delete outlook ID's copy/backup as running out of space?
    If you mean you have several identities in the Office Identities folder then yes. You can delete whatever you don need\want except for your current.
    Are you updated to the latest version of Office?
    After the restore, navigate to ~/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office 2011 Identities/your identity and delete the file called Database. Then rebuild.
    This may help:

  • Incorrect time stamps

    The time stamps on my saved files are not correct. They give the time in the time zone where I was previously and where I last restarted the computer. Is this the expected behaviour? The time displayed at top right of the menu bar IS correct - it changed as expected when I changed the time zone in system preferences - but all the time stamps on files modified, created, and opened since changing zone are incorrect.
    I'm guessing (hoping) that when I restart all will be well, but in the meantime would like to know if this behaviour is expected.

    Thanks jimocallaghan. I'm (literally) half a world away from my install disk right now, but could try your suggestion on returning home in a few weeks time.
    In the meantime I've restarted and, lo, the incorrect timestamps which were being generated after my zone change are now magically corrected. i.e not only are new time stamps being applied correctly but the files which were wrongly stamped now carry the correct stamps.
    Has anyone else found that, after a time zone change, a restart is required to ensure that timestamps are applied correctly ?

  • Lock and Unlock Time Stamp

    Hi,
    Is there a way to get the time stamp when we lock and unlock the entities. And also the User name who performed the lock and unlock task?
    Rgds
    Abhi

    Hi Lye and Elvira,
    I am not logged on, but fairly certain that calling FM BAPI_USER_GET_DETAIL will also deliver the lock status / reason and user existence check etc, which means that the program can react appropriately to the UFLAG lock and the reason for it (if coded to do so). It would also spare the select on USR02 which might change or even be blocked.
    A bigger problem I see with preventing a user from doing something from a certain point in time onwards using this lock-approach, is that the user might already be logged on!
    @ Elvira Knight and ELVIRA KNIGHT regarding points: You have 2 SDN ID's now. You need to logon as the ID which created the thread (Elvira Knight originally asked the question) either by using the P- or S-number from the registration or the email address (you might need to temporarily change ELVIRA KNIGHT's email address to do that). Then you will be able to assign points for the thread which you started as Elvira Knight.
    Theoretically I could add the points for you, but I prefer not to interfer in the decisions and points of SDN members (it is a free world  - unless there is points collaboration...). The future of the points-system is indeed also hanging in a bit of a balance because of that reason. You can email me via the address in my business card if you need some help.

  • The export file from a calc script - naming and date/time stamp

    Here is a simple calc script to export data.
    2 questions:
    1. Is there an easy way to add a date/time stamp on the name of the data file so that it does not overwrite the older ones every time?
    2. I tried to specify the path so that it write to another server. "\\mfldappp011\E:\Exp_AW.txt". It's not working. How should I specify the path ?
    Fix (@Relative("Yeartotal",0),"Actual","Working",&ActualYear);

    EndFix;
    Edited by: user9959627 on Sep 7, 2012 11:25 AM

    Probably easiest to call the maxl script from a command line script, then rename the exported file to include the tme stamp and copy/move it to a location.

  • Time stamp and local time stamp

    Dear sirs...
    i am a little confused about the time stamp datatype and how to handle it in my applications. i want to display the time for every user in its time zone. so the fields in the database are timestamp with local time zone. is this correct?
    i want it to be such that if one stores the time in USA time , the other can display that same data in UK time.

  • TS3276 Internet Mail Delivery Problem

    I have been getting "Internet Delivery Problem" on my email since midnight last night.  All my email is coming through, accompanied by the above message,  and all messages are going out.  I don't see how to fix this.  Any suggestions?  I am on iCloud and went to Connection Doctor, and it said everything was fine!

    Seems to not be system-wide.  My husbands .mac account is behaving just fine. 
    Just curious, did anyone having problems also lose service a while back? If I understood what happened correctly, Apple had one big server center go down and I lost email for a couple of days but my husband didn't.  So he's located on a different server than mine.  Everyone seems randomly assigned since the outage was world-wide, and just those routed out of this one location lost service. Took them a while to acknowledge the issue, since it wasn't everyone.  Curious if this is affecting the same people? 

  • Mail delivery problem

    Hi I have a few email accounts on my Macbook pro..all run through the default Apple mail client.
    up until a week ago all was fine..now I can only receive emails on all accounts not send them..have checked smtp settings and renewed permissions but nothing sends...just the cog spinning and eventually fails the send..All accounts work fine on my iphone using the same router..
    Now if I take my laptop to my mates house it all works fine!! we both use BT infinity home hub 3 routers..and yes all its settings are the same as default..
    Any ideas guys??

    I have experienced the same problems. I could receive but not send email through a third party email. Our ISP is BT and it would appear even though they wont admit it that they have changed some peoples settings.
    I spoke with my email provider 123-reg and they asked me to check my ISP and then check the SPAMHAUS and our ISP has been Blocklisted. I called BT and they wouldnt answer why this had happened.
    To cut a long story short I have had to pay BT £30 (not happy) to resolve the problem. They set my SMTP details as mail.btinternet.com and i had to authenticate this by logging into a BT/Yahoo email account that we never use., go to options then mail options then mail accounts and add details for the account your having problems with. You should then receive an email link on your third party email address.
    I have actually complained to OFCOM about this as I dont believe that I should have to pay to rectify a problem that I havent caused. All BT would say is that they fixed the problem and I have to pay the £30. they wouldnt answer why I couldnt send emails prior to this fix. I asked why I now have to have the SMTP as mail.btinternet.com and again they couldnt answer this.
    I hope this helps

  • Find My iPhone and incorrect time problem

    I just tried out the Find My iPhone feature on iCloud (Mac Mini) and played a sound on my iPhone just to see if it worked, which it did. My query is I immediately got an email from Apple to say a sound was played on my iPhone but the time was totally incorrect. I played the sound at 1830 hours but the email said it was played at 1030 hours (8 hours earlier).
    The time on my iPhone and Mac Mini are both correct. How do I make the Find My iPhone display the correct time?
    Thank you.
