texte = We're running WebCatalog unix-Solaris Sparc Apache Module version 6.0a and have our SMTP Mail Server set to our own smtp mail server. Additionally, we're located in the Mountain Time Zone (MDT). Problem we're seeing after sniffing network traffic is that WebCatalog is sending the wrong offset in the email headers?Here's an example:SMTP: "Date: Sat, 12 May 2007 12:25:16 -0700\r\n"Maybe it's mapping MDT to -0700 instead of -0600, treating it like MST or like there's no such thing as daylight saving time?Putting [date %Z] on a page does display the correct Timezone (MDT), just not in the email header.The system appears to know the correct timezone:v242:78> dateSat May 12 11:55:04 MDT 2007v242:79> perl -e '$a = localtime(); print "$a\n";'Sat May 12 11:55:54 2007Anyone got any ideas or know how to tell WebCat to use correct offset?Marc-- -------------------------------------------Marc ThompsonSoftware EngineerOffice of Information TechnologyUniversity of Utah801.585.9264marc.thompson@utah.edu-------------------------------------------
