On Linux, cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/right/yourzonefile /etc/localtime

If you use qmail, it always writes "Received:" fields in UTC whatever timezone 
you use. (Please, note that the qmail timestamps will be 22 seconds ahead if 
you use TAI due to a bug in qmail). To force your MUA to generate "Date: in a 
specific timezone, try setting TZ environment variable before invoking the MUA.

Enjoy.
