Hello,

I'm hoping the author of the local time patch, John Saunders, gets to read
this message. It regards the patch he wrote to get qmail to emit the servers
local timestamp in headers instead of GMT time. The problem I'm having is as
follows.

I applied the patch and compiled qmail as normal. When I tested it out,
local times are emited for Received: headers, but not the initial From
header. For example:

>From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sat Sep 16 23:52:53 2000
Return-Path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Received: (qmail 36979 invoked by uid 0); 17 Sep 2000 01:52:53 +0200
Date: 17 Sep 2000 01:52:53 +0200
Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: test

test

This message was sent at 01:52 as shown by the Received: header. But it's
the first From header that most MUAs seem to get their timestamp from. It's
set to GMT time. Does anyone know of a workaround/patch that'll get qmail to
timestamp that header with the server local time too? I'd like to upgrade
all our sendmail servers to qmail and this is the only thing standing in my
way. I want to avoid having my users phone me complaining that our mail
server is slow when all their messages appear as if they've arrived 2 hours
late in their Outlook mailboxes :).

Any help would be appreciated.


Thanks,
Aragon
