It's not the date format which causes the error.  In your sendmail log, Lire
finds '4815' in a field where it expects a delay field.  These fields
generally look like e.g. 1+23:57:50.  Did you tweak your sendmail
configuration in a non-standard way?  Is the file you use _really_ a
valid sendmail logfile?  Could you please run Lire on a small snippet of
your log, which would give the same error?  Could you please show us
this logsnippet?  (I assume no sensitive data would be in this snippet.)

BTW, what version of Lire are you using?

I am very curious to what causes this problem, and I'd very much like to
get it fixed.

Thanks for your question!

Bye,

Joost
