The sendmail I'm running on our M/2000 under RiscOS 4.51 always seems
to believe it's operating in the Pacific timezone, so the timestamps
are 8 hours behind GMT.  I've checked I have a Ot option in my
sendmail.cf to set the timezones appropriately

# time zone names (V6 only)
OtGMT,BST

but the comment makes me wonder if timezones are still supported in
this way (the .cf file is generated using the UK-Sendmail 2.1 package).
Our /etc/TZ file is set up correctly.  Is there anything else which
should be set to make sendmail use the GMT timezone?
