Subject: Strange timezone in email sent with Postfix 
Hi all,
I'm having trouble getting a sensible timezone to be attached to e-mail that gets sent out when messages are posted. I'm using Postfix, not sendmail (Mac OS X Server uses this beginning with version 10.3). In this set-up, the 'sendmail' program is a front-end for Postfix, not the real thing. I suspect that there are subtle differences that cause this problem.
Instead of something like "Date: Wed, 28 Jan 2004 14:46:16 -0600", the "-0600" is replaced by a large number that doesn't correspond with anything I can figure out. This is the sort of thing that does no real harm, but the notebook users keep complaining
Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated. -Joe
Here is what gets mailed when a messages is posted:
