date/time different in emails

[Geetam]

Email from root@localhost to root@localhost has a confusing date and time stamp.

It looks like this:

From root Mon Jul 10 21:40:30 EDT 2000
Received: (from root@localhost) by host.domain (8.7.1/8.7.1) id CAA01148 fo
r root; Tue, 11 Jul 2000 02:40:29 +0100 (BST)
Date: Tue, 11 Jul 2000 02:40:29 +0100 (BST)
From: root

My timezone (TZ) is GMT0BST

Can someone suggest how to tidy this up?
Thanks

Hi,

set within /etc/mail/sendmail.cf:
O TimeZoneSpec=GMT0BST
Then stop and restart sendmail:
/sbin/init.d/sendmail stop
/sbin/init.d/sendmail start

Greetings

Andrew
