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.
