I'm rehashing/reliving my issues from 2010: http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2010-October/053528.html
In short, when calling deliver from vdelivermail (or procmail), and delivering via NFS to Maildir, the timestamp on the file is GMT. If procmail or vdelivermail completely handle the email, the timestamp is CST. The server is set to CST.
What's changed from the original issue? Previously was running dovecot 1.x on FreeBSD, now 2.1.7 on Debian 7. I know it's a few versions behind, but this is a deliver only server, and ChangeLog doesn't show too many fixes for lda. Of course, running the command from the command line works perfectly... So where could my problem reside? Two examples:
1st via Calling from procmail: :0
- ? test -f /usr/lib/dovecot/dovecot-lda { :0w |/usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -d $EXT@$HOST }
-rw------- 1 vpopmail vchkpw 87196 Jun 5 13:43 1370439849.M812P29560.smtp101,S=87196,W=88094
2nd via Commandline: #sudo -u vpopmail cat /tmp/testmail.txt | /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -d rick@havokmon.com
-rw------- 1 vpopmail vchkpw 27740 Jun 5 08:46 1370440001.M421646P29846.smtp101,S=27740,W=28243
I've thrown the TZ variable in the mix as well with no resolution |/usr/bin/env -i TZ=CST /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -d $EXT@$HOST |/usr/bin/env -i TZ=America/Chicago /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -d $EXT@$HOST
I've also set import_environment = TZ , but it doesn't seem to show in dovecot -n ...
Any other thoughts?
Side note - deliver behavior has changed since 1.x. I used to be able to specifiy the HOME directory, but now deliver requires the -d parameter, so I've had to setup an Auth server where I didn't have to in the past.
Am I the only one who doesn't run my servers in GMT? I seem to only find my own posts when searching on this :)
