And if you still need localtimes, there is a patch for stock qmail which
works also for qmail-ldap.
Just a side note: it does not matter if the timestamp is UTC or localtime
if you convert them you get the equal timestamps. If your mua has problems
with UTC then the mua is broken.
2nd side note: to get the recived time it is easier to parse the Maildir
filename.
e.g.: 1022832555.16150.diehard,S=3137:2,S
