Er, what do you mean by "proper date headers" and how are you sure you
definition of "proper date headers" isn't being met by qmail?
I suspect what is happening is that qmail is creating Date: headers
that are UTC based and you are used to seeing Date: headers in your
local time zone. Are you sure that what qmail is doing is incorrect or
is it's possible that it's legal according to the standards, but just
that it's different from what you want?
If it's legal according to the standards, but differs from what you
expect, what's your problem exactly?
As others have said, qmail only puts a Date: header in if one isn't
already present, so you can easily override the default by using a
program that puts in a Date: field.
