Yes. Client = bbs poster, server = gateway (then some usenet news server =
another server).

No, your server/gateway adds its own timezone (without time) to the
client's time (without timezone). That's the whole problem! What I
suggested: use both time and timezone of the gateway when relaying a
message. So, bin the date/time header the client sent you and simply
replace it with date/time/timezone of the server (your gateway) from the
moment you're processing the message.
