I have set up a Postfix MTA with several virtual mail domains. So far in
the doucmentation I have not found a way to have mail sent by Postfix to
show a time that is different than that of the server, which is in
Arizona, USA. I would like virtual domain users to have their mail sent
with the correct time zone, i.e. +10 for Australia.
The Date header is added by the original MUA -- the MTA just passes it
along, as it does all the other headers.
Its in a standard format and most MUAs will convert it to the local
timezone when displaying. If it doesn't, its not something you want
to fix in the server.
In other words the solution is to make sure the MUA (Mail User Agent - aka
email client software) has the correct timezone. If for example that's a
web based mail client then it will have to have the correct timezone setup
(not necessarily the same as the server itself). Try setting the TZ
environment variable before launching the application (eg in the apache
startup script if you want all websites in the same time zone). If it's
only one virtual server then maybe you can use perl setenv in the
virtualhost section or write a wrapper for the CGI, or set it in PHP or
whatever - experimentation warranted.
