See: http://www.faqts.com/knowledge_base/view.phtml/aid/1167/fid/208 "How can I set the timezone used in headers? Why is the time wrong in headers? Mar 3rd, 2000 10:58 Dave Sill qmail uses Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), instead of the local timezone, in any timestamps it creates. This is indicated by the "-" at the end of the date specification. It means "no offset from GMT". (Eastern Standard Time has an offset of "-0500" which means five hours before GMT.) qmail uses GMT for two reasons: first, it makes it easier to track messages that pass through multiple timezones, and second, converting to the local timezone requires linking with the standard C runtime library, which DJB has gone to great lengths to avoid since it can be a source of security and reliability problems. There are two headers fields where qmail puts a time: Received and Date. qmail will only add a Date field to locally-injected (not SMTP) messages that don't already have a Date field. If you don't like the Date header qmail adds, either configure your mail user agent (MUA) to add them, or use the "datemail" command to inject messages instead of qmail-inject. Some people even replace qmail-inject with a symbolic link to datemail. Received fields are always stamped in UTC. Changing this would require a source code patch, and would be ill-advised for the reasons stated above." --- P.S: sou brasileira, se quiser trocar "figurinhas" sobre o qmail me procure ... estou começando a usa-lo em substituicao ao Sendmail.

RE: Time zone
For those of you that have missed this. I asked a simple question about UTC and where it comes from and where now into POSIX not being Y2.1K Compliant, and there is also a variant about Negatives in Grammar. Don't you love it when this happens :) Regards, Paul Trippett -Original Message- From: Russell Nelson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 20, 2000 6:51 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Timezone Ian Lance Taylor writes: From: Russell Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Thu, 20 Jan 2000 13:22:56 -0500 (EST) Mark Delany writes: I walk around http://physics.nist.gov/GenInt/Time/world.html might be instructive. Instructive, yes, but it says nothing about TAI. TAI is simply a counting of seconds, without UTC being taken into account. TAI + leap seconds == UTC. Unix machines claim to run on UTC but really operate on TAI. This is one of those statement which punches my personal pedant button. I believe that machines which follow POSIX run on a mixture. Me too. Didn't I just say that? Perhaps the most accurate way to say it is that the kernel naturally runs TAI, but it's sense of time it coerced into UTC by people or other software external to the kernel. -- -russ nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://russnelson.com Crynwr sells support for free software | PGPok | "Ask not what your country 521 Pleasant Valley Rd. | +1 315 268 1925 voice | can force other people to Potsdam, NY 13676-3213 | +1 315 268 9201 FAX | do for you..." -Perry M.
