I had this same problem last year. I stopped and started the Witango service
and it corrected itself. I noticed that all my cron jobs were firing an hour
off...

wait a minute. DST started on the first sunday in april as of 1986 (in the
US). THe system clock knows the time, time zone, and that it's daylight
saving. witango is off. I don't recall this happening last year or the year
before. The witango log is stamping the right time, just emails get pushed
forward an hour.

Remember that this should go away in a couple of weeks. My guess is that if
there is a problem with the code, it is because the rules were created when
DST started on the last Sunday in April.

Thanks. I'm running two servers with witango 5 and they both have the same
problem. I'm using the services of a witango server 5.5, and it's giving me
correct datetime on emails. 
Now to figure out a workaround...

Mail from Phil (29-04-2008):
Hi all, 
Before this thread gets a life of its own let me just say that there is more
to this release as we move to commercial open source model than just
software.   We have basically finished the engineering but there are still
some legal and business issues we are continuing to work through.


It all takes time and we are not just sitting here idly.  While we have been
waiting for these issue to be resolved we have been adding extra features to
the studio.  As soon as I can release v6 I will.  


Regards


Phil

Witango shouldn't have its own Timezone rules; Witango should use the
server's local time and offset (from GMT).
However, Witango does need to reformat the time to specific SMTP format.
However, this reformat is the ONLY thing that Witango should be doing.

PDT stands for Pacific Daylight Time and has an offset of -0700. 
PST stands for Pacific Standard Time and has an offset of -0800.

13:43:47 -0700 PDT is not equivalent to 2:43:47 PM PDT

It looks like Witango's daylight time handling code is wrong.

does the tango server had its own date rules?  I didn't see anything in
witango.ini that set the time zone.
