Thats a good suggestion, Trevor. The thing is, I'm in London. All Time Zone settings are at GMT with a fat +0 for everything. I've tested by sending both to my work account and my personal email account (hich is hosted in Montana). I've haven't had timestamp troubles since I've gotten here. More Troubleshooting: - I also tested the box itself by whipping up a php script to shoot me an email directly through its functions and THAT timestamp is hunky-dory. - Messages straight from the command line with sendmail are properly timestamped as well. I'm flummoxed. -t PS: Go London 2012!

I'm working in implementing OTRS for our company and I notied the mails that are getting sent during my tests have a totally whach timeestamp, and I cannot dig up anything in the documentation or the code as to where I can fix this. Anyone have any ideas? - OTRS 1.3.2 - System time of server is dead on, timezone on server has been checked. - Everything seems okay. Timestamp is roughly 8 hours off, give or take a couple minutes.

Hmm, in that case, you may have one of two issues.
The first is that the system clock is set to US EST (Is it a DELL?
That happens sometimes) and, depending on what function is called, the
code may be getting hardware time NOT system time (guess how I know
this ;-).
The other idea is that OTRS has a timezone hardcoded in it somewhere.
I haven't looked, but that's the only other thing that I can think of
at the local system.
Are you positive that the mail you sent with the PHP script followed
the same route as the mail from OTRS? Is the database, mail server,
and web server all on the same machine? If not, check the clocks on
the other machines.
Good Luck!

I've cheked the hardware and system times and theyre set to the proper time - unless i'm not looking in the right place. Box is a self built frankenstein monster (like the good lord meant the web to be!) [Suggestions?]

I've grepped the crap out of the OTRS system and cant find anything but one setting for timezone in Kernel/Config/Default.pm that was commented out, so I set it, but it didnt seem to help. yeah, its all one box running the whole thing, no calls to anywhere else. -Tony "it's always something..." [[ quick question: whats the standard etiquette for leaving comments or previous text in these messaged, since ther're all archived? ]]

Have you checked the Mail Headers, and what time zone the mail client you are receiving the mail thinks it is in? Combinations of local clock, UTC, and non UTC settings can cause some mail clients to display timestamps incorrectly. BTW: If memory serves me right mail relays are not supposed to reset the initial timestamp. On Wed, 2005-07-06 at 10:47 +0100, Tony Saurini wrote:
