I can't see why the time zone would have any effect on why the LAN
outgoing mail is not working. And in what way is it not working?
Headers can be in GMT or offsets from GMT and should affect nothing
else.
This is from a standard sendmail distribution
========================================
# time zone handling:
# if undefined, use system default
# if defined but null, use TZ envariable passed in
# if defined and non-null, use that info
#O TimeZoneSpec=
