Hello all, I have just upgraded my news software from bnews 2.11.14 to 2.11.19 and have been of course looking closely at the errlog to make sure all is running ok with my new version of news. I am not sure, but either this new version is missing something, or these are in fact invalid date lines, but the following are being rejected by inews. Mostly BITNET sites, but some .nz sites as well. They look ok, except for thie timeszone info. Does getdate need to be updated for some new timezones? Did these sites drop be ball when installing their news software or systems? Thanks for any information.
