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: http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hubs/dst/software/#Solaris 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 -- -D.
