Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
Actually, the date-time format was updated in RFC 2822, and the syntax that ita is using is obsolete. The actual format is:
Fri, 13 May 2005 05:23:00 -0700
The time zone should be a numeric offset from GMT, so EDT is -0400, EST is -0500, and PDT is -0700.
The day of the week in the beginning is optional. The time is 24-hour time, and the hours, minutes and seconds should all be 2 digits, with leading zeros. The seconds are optional.
The time zone should be a numeric offset from GMT, so EDT is -0400, EST is -0500, and PDT is -0700.
Thanks Tom, I'll update that.
Thanks for the heads up, Tom.
I need to set up my Mac Mail so it'll send a message to anyone who writes to my Earthlink account telling them that account is about to be closed and directing them to my Mac account, but I can't figure out how to do this seemingly simple thing. Does anyone have a clue?
Azureus on the mac keeps telling me:
Distributed DB] If you have a router/firewall, please check that you have port 6681 UDP open. Decentralised tracking requires this.
Unfortunately, I haven't the faintest idea what to do about it.
FWiw, I use an Apple Extreme Card that talks to an SMC Barricade wifi router that I think is the "g" variant of whatever.
Even a clue where to start woudl be gratefully accepted.
Rio, you should be able to access the web version of your EarthLink mail account, and in Preferences use both the "Email Forwarding" and "Vacation Message" features.
Of course, I doubt either of those will features will survive the actual closing of your account, but it will alert anyone who sends to you between now and then.
Is that what you had in mind?
Yes, thank you! I wonder why they restrict that feature to Web mail. I mean it seems like my Mac Mail program should be able to handle it, you know?
Now I'm being punished for copyediting. The "vacation message" worked just fine until I changed one word in it then resaved it. Now it's not going out anymore. Everything else about it is the same. Fuck. I knew my persnicketiness would bite me in the ass.
There is an "Enable" check box at the top of the "Vacation Message" form. Did it get un-checked when you edited?
No, it's still checked. I can't believe I fucked it up.
I changed the date so it runs out tomorrow, so I can make a whole new one the day after. Hopefully that'll work. Thanks for your help.
