Here is a head scratcher ...
I have installed Brian's MailScanner package and apart from making a few
adjustments to the MailScanner.conf I haven't touched anything.
The maillog entries from MailScanner appear to be -5hrs from the system
time.
"tail -f /var/log/maillog" gives this:

"date" gives the correct time and localtime links to the correct zone:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 35 Aug 3 21:22 localtime ->
../usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/London
I cannot see anything in the MailScanner.conf that effects time stamp
and can't see that there would need to be.
Anybody any ideas?
