As you ought to be able to see by looking at the timezone list that comes
with sqwebmail, you specify timezones by using the conventions of the
Olsen tz system (a standard part of many Unix variants these days).  The
reason you cannot use abbreviations like CET is that more than one
country may use the same abbreviation for entirely different timezones
(for example, both the US and Australia have an EST).

For mainland Spain you use Europe/Madrid.  However, if your server is in
Spain and correctly configured to have Europe/Madrid as its timezone then
the default TIMEZONELIST entry will use that anyway.  It goes without
saying that you should be running ntpd to ensure that your server's
clock is accurate.

Do a find for a directory called zoneinfo and in that you will see
a file called zone.tab listing every timezone your server knows about.
Or grab http://www.sktb.net/make_timezonelist.txt which is a perl
script that compiles a TIMEZONELIST containing every timezone your
server knows about which you can then edit to suit your needs.
