SYMPTOMSWhen viewing mail on a Microsoft Exchange Server computer sent from the Microsoft Mail SMTP gateway, the SENT date/time as displayed in the message is not accurate. CAUSEThe SMTP gateway was incorrectly sending the sent date/time time zone information in the format
where NN = number of hours offset from GMT. This format is incorrect
according to RFC 822, and should be
where NNNN = number of hours and minutes from GMT. As a result, the
Microsoft Exchange Internet Mail Service ignored this offset and displayed
the SENT date/time as if no time zone information had been sent.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, contact Microsoft Product Support Services to
obtain the following fix.
Change the name of the appropriate EXE file above to Smtpgate.exe, and
replace this file on your gateway.
A new command-line option, -Z, has been added to this version. If the -Z command-line parameter is not used, the SMTP gateway will format the time zone in the way it always did. With the fix, the correct format will be used. STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft Mail SMTP Gateway version 3.0a. A supported fix is now available, but has not been fully regression tested and should be applied only to systems experiencing this specific problem. Unless you are severely impacted by this specific problem, Microsoft recommends that you wait for the next service pack that contains this fix. Contact Microsoft Technical Support for more information. Additional query words: msmail timezone sent
