From the exim spec,
timezone
/Type:/ string
/Default:/ unset
The value of timezone is used to set the environment variable TZ
while running Exim (if it is different on entry). This ensures that
all timestamps created by Exim are in the required timezone. If you
want all your timestamps to be in UTC (aka GMT) you should set
timezone = UTC
The default value is taken from TIMEZONE_DEFAULT in
/Local/Makefile/, or, if that is not set, from the value of the TZ
environment variable when Exim is built. If timezone is set to the
empty string, either at build or run time, any existing TZ variable
is removed from the environment when Exim runs.
Why is timezone set up this way? Is there any way to override the TZ setup? What I really want, is to use the value already present in the environment...
