How do i change the $Date variable format on an Ironport ESA to be DD/MM/YYYY

[PhilipIrwin]

I have an Ironport ESA running ASyncOS 7.6 and i use the $Date variable in notification emails.  It is currently formatted in the US way of MM/DD/YYYY but we need it to be formatted as DD/MM/YYYY.  Is there any way to do this?  The time zone is correct but i can't find anywhere to modify system variables.

There doesn't appear to be any way to change the formatting of that variable.  Perhaps you can make use of $Timestamp or $GMTimeStamp instead?

Thanks Scott, that was my opinion as well.  Hopefully Cisco will add it as a feature at some point...
