But for Us European people EST stands for Eastern Summer Time and what is
UTC and where is the time zone for that ?

Sure, but why tamper with qmail's approach? When tracking down
delivery problems it's easier for humans and programs to read the
Received:-lines when all time stamps are in the same timezone rather
than 10 different ones.
To make it even harder some systems add strange symbolic names like EST,
which don't tell me much. E might indicate east, and T probably means Time.
East of me is Sweden, so EST must be Eastern Swedish Time.
Dan made life easier. IMHO applying such patches makes it harder again.
If you like to display the time stamps in a local timezone, ask your MUA
author to make the MUA do so. Or take a look at
