Date mail header rewriting and RFC822
We received a complaint from a user that we were incorrectly
rewriting the "Date:" header on mail originating in different
timezones.
For example, the following message started out at "2:32 EDT" but
the machine we are running zmailer on rewrote this to be "23:32:46 -0700"
which is the original time rewritten to the timezone on the machine
zmailer is running on (PDT).

>From the router manual page, I see I can turn this rewriting off:
You may decide to add or remove header definitions from this
database. This is done using the normal database interface
function, db. For example, if you want to disable the
automatic checking (and rewriting) of Date message headers,
you would do "db delete headers date". Such actions should
never be done lightly, since it will likely cause violation
of the RFC822 protocol when transferring mail to other
mailers.
Does anyone know what the "correct" thing to do is? Are we
really incorrectly rewriting the headers?
Thanks for any insights,
