Thanks Jay.

Unfortunately, in this environment, the server that I referred to is
not the end location and is not in CST. For this particular txn, its
just passing thru the message on to the final dest. So the server
would have the same problem. I haven't looked yet, but does the
localtime include the timezone locally also, so I would have that
information ?
