Re^4: send mail with STARTTLS

Are you sure that [func://localtime]() or giving "just the date" are things that will supply a well-formatted Date header?

You most likely want something like DateTime::Format::Mail. At least your value should look something like Sat, 29 Mar 2003 22:11:18 -0800.

As a funny sidenote, depending on the Date library used, just make sure the weekday name calculation is correct. Many, many, many years ago i once ran into that exact problem. Sudenly, my mails started getting rejected by some server, leading me on a long bug hunt... until i found a leap year bug that messed up weekday names... PerlMonks XP is useless?

[...]mails started getting rejected by some server [...] until i found a leap year bug that messed up weekday names [...] Now that's a cool bug. I never expected servers to actually validate weekdays. Checking for one of the seven weekday names at the right position, yes, of course. But not actually matching the name to the date. On the other hand, there might have been some lazy spammers that simply always sent "Monday" or something like that.
