digitalmars.D.announce - news.digitalmars.com server has a wrong date

I'm sorry to use this group to report this but I failed at looking for
a better place to do so (including mailing Walter).

The news.digitalmars.com server seems to have the date set incorrectly,
so I'm getting a very annoying message complaining about that (which
I cannot silence).

Is there any way to get this fixed? Is there a better place to report
this kind of infrastructure problems?

Thanks.

I'll take it with our provider. What's the error message, OS, client 
program etc?

Thanks,

"check_date: news.digitalmars.com: clocks of upstream and this computer
are more than 10 minutes apart. Check your system clock."
Ubuntu
leafnode 1.11.8-1

Yes, I checked my computer's date and is fine.

Is this fixed now? I didn't get the error in the last couple of hours...

Ah no I'm wrong, I thought it said duration < dur!"seconds"(1). Quite
curious how duration can end up being less than 0.

Easy. It's negative. For instance, if you subtract now from tomorrow, the 
result would be negative. So, if the code is subtracting the current time from 
some other time, and the result is negative, then the other time is in the 
future as that line indicates.
