    Hello Preslav,

    You can use the shell command "date" to get the local time before sending the mail.

    example :

    timestamp=`date`

    Then you can use the $timestamp variable

    It will display something like that by default : 

    Wed Aug 16 10:50:50 CEST 2017

    You can also customize the date as you want using arguments with command "date"

    Regards
