Hi,
also AIX 4.2 sendmail adds the Timezone. Here is an example
---
Received: (from sw@localhost) by struppi.wtech.ruhr-uni-bochum.de (AIX4.2/UCB
8.7/8.7) id MAA11360 for sw; Tue, 20 Jan 1998 12:31:38 +0100 (CET)
---
But I don't understand to change this!
The configuration is:
---
HReceived: $?sfrom $s $.$?_($?s$|from $.$_) $.by $j ($v/$Z)$?r with $r$. id
$i$?u for $u$.; $b

Mit vielen Grüßen....
