Witango shouldn't have its own Timezone rules; Witango should use the server's local time and offset (from GMT). However, Witango does need to reformat the time to specific SMTP format. However, this reformat is the ONLY thing that Witango should be doing.
PDT stands for Pacific Daylight Time and has an offset of -0700. PST stands for Pacific Standard Time and has an offset of -0800. 13:43:47 -0700 PDT is not equivalent to 2:43:47 PM PDT It looks like Witango's daylight time handling code is wrong.
