Hello, everyone:
Okay -- I know that this question has been asked before, and I know it's
been answered before, but I've sifted through all the the FAQs I could find,
heeded some of the advice, looked through the archives, and I'm no closer to
a clear answer or a solution.
The question:
How do I modify/configure qmail so that the messages I *receive* have the
appropriate time stamp on them? All my incoming mail appears in UTC.
I have checked my system clock. Hardware clock is in UTC, system timer shows
correct local time with offset.
I have switched from /var/qmail/bin/sendmail to /var/qmail/bin/datemail.
This has had no visible effect. Outgoing mail seemed to have the correct
timestamp on it before anyway -- or at least, the webmail client I was using
to test this feature was translating the timestamp in the header correctly.
I have implemented John Saunders patch, and this has had no effect either.
The problem persists.
[question: I ran "make setup check" after patching the source -- is that all
I have to do, or am I supposed to move any binaries?]
Of note is that if I am using Netscape Messenger to retrieve e-mail, it will
show the correct local time of receipt. If I use Outlook, it will not. I
want the time to appear correctly in either one. (I haven't been able to
find any place in Outlook where you can set how headers are interpreted.)
Your assistance is much appreciated. Even if somebody tells me "at present,
there is no way to resolve this problem" I'd be happy.
Thanks,
Stephen Bosch
