Qpopper doesn't have any internal DST considerations (it relies on the
underlying OS for time services), so nothing needs to be done -to-
qpopper.  But qpopper will be affected (if briefly) unless your OS is
current.  All your Solaris systems -- as well as other vendors' -- will
need patches unless they're on a regular patching schedule already.

Solaris 8, 9, and 10 all require patches:

  This issue is addressed in the following releases:

  SPARC Platform
    * Solaris 8 with timezone patch 109809-05 or later and libc patch
108993-52 or later

    * Solaris 9 with timezone patch 113225-07 or later and libc patch
112874-33 or later

    * Solaris 10 with timezone patch 122032-03 or later and libc patch
119689-07 or later

  x86 Platform
    * Solaris 8 with timezone patch 109810-05 or later and libc patch
108994-52 or later

    * Solaris 9 with timezone patch 116545-05 or later and libc patch
114432-23 or later

    * Solaris 10 with timezone patch 122033-03 or later and libc patch
121208-03 or later
