TIMEZONE parameter
To verify that the value of SYSTZ set to the TIMEZONE parameter in a SMTP server
configuration works correctly, we submitted a batch SMTP. Example 7-1 shows messages in
a spool file created after we submitted a batch job. We can see -0400 (1) instead of the
printable zone name such as EST. (The 0400 represents HH:MM.)
