Exim does not parse dates or times at all. Internally, it makes some use of binary timestamps in Unix format (number of seconds since 1-Jan-1970) and uses C library services to convert these to printing forms (e.g. for logging). The printing forms all use 4-digit years. Some people have tried various tests. No problems have been reported, but details of what tests have been done are not available. </p> <p> Well, it's now November 2001, and no Y2K problems have been reported, so it looks like I was right. This entry is retained as historical nostalgia. </p> <hr><br> <a href="FAQ.html#TOC">Contents</a> <a href="FAQ_17.html">Previous</a> <a href="FAQ_19.html">Next</a> </body> </html>
