Qpopper doesn't have any internal DST considerations (it relies on the
underlying OS for time services), so nothing needs to be done -to-
qpopper. But qpopper will be affected (if briefly) unless your OS is
current. All your Solaris systems -- as well as other vendors' -- will
need patches unless they're on a regular patching schedule already.
Solaris 8, 9, and 10 all require patches:
