Re: [LI] Info on Y2K!!!

Mannu,

You might want to take a look at http://www.redhat.com/legal/y2k_statement.html
which talks about 5.2 being Y2K compliant. As sendmail takes the time format
from the OS itself, it should be Y2K compliant. The oldest version we have here
is 8.8.8 running on a patched HP 10.2 and it is Y2K compliant.

hope this helps,
- Gaurav

hmmm...then the least you could do is to work on the paths of the y2k definition
of sendmail.org. Check for bounce, new messages time format, etc. Yes. sendmail
does picks up the date from the OS so you could also take a look at the
readiness of RH 5.2 for Y2K and leave the rest to god *maybe* :-)

Alternatively you might like to post your question to "comp.mail.sendmail"

I have already done that. I would be interested in someone who can provide me
with
means to test the sendmail program for y2k readiness. To the best of my
understanding, sendmail uses the date from OS... so if the OS is y2k ready,
sendmail
should be. But my million dollar question is - Can someone give me scripts to do
these tests?
