A lot easier to let SMTP figure it out!  

z/VM has a CP QUERY TIMEZONE command:
query timezone                      
Zone  Direction   Offset   Status   
UTC     ----     00.00.00  Inactive 
GMT     ----     00.00.00  Inactive 
EDT     West     04.00.00  Active   
EST     West     05.00.00  Inactive 

So it's trivial to get the Zone name.  Of course, the name and the offset have 
to be defined to CP in either the system parms or via command.  You would think 
that IBM's "Premiere OS" would be able to provide something this simple!  :-)>
