Ive stumbled upon a problem where Emails sent couldnt be delivered to certain recipients, especially with IONOS. The problem is a non-conformity with RFC5322 Date and Time Specification.
As my apps used in Germany, the locale is set to de_DE on most devices, which results in the date formatted as e.g. Do., 18 Juli 2024 12:00, where Do is THursday (Donnerstag) in German. I did change it by changing in Mail.swift (as it was time sensitive to solve)
`extension DateFormatter {
static let smtpDateFormatter: DateFormatter = {
let formatter = DateFormatter()
**formatter.locale = Locale(identifier: "en_GB")**
formatter.dateFormat = "EEE, d MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss ZZZ"
return formatter
}()
}`
Maybe add a param to the init do set a timezone, and use en_GB (or similar) as default.
