Hi,

okay, I checked on this and that's pretty interesting (and new).
Did you by any chance enable killmail classification recently?
Because this bug only shows up when killmail classification is enabled.
When posting a kill, some internal checks are executed, among them if the kill is classified. If it is, another method fails, causing posting to fail.
This will produce the weird error messages with the date of 1970.

So basically that affects only kills that are still classified as per your setting, so right now you were only able to post kills with a 24h delay...

It's a simple fix that I already added to your killboard and which will be included in any future releases.
So should be fine now

Thank you for your help with debugging and your patience!

Best Regards,

So thats the same thing that makes the cron jobs not working ?

[Salvoxia]

Could you please be a bit more precise?

Generally, it doesn't matter if the kills should be posted by a cron job or triggered manually, it would not have worked either way. I'm unable to test it with ESIFetch, but that shouldn't have worked just like zKBFetch just skipped these mails.
If that's what you meant, then yes, I'm pretty confident that this was the culprit.
