Me: Exim 4.10-snapshot.

I never set timezone in anything to do with Exim. 'exim -bP | grep
timezone' gives: 'timezone ='.

But, 'telnet localhost 25' gives the same time as I get with 'date',
including the GMT Offset of 2 hours for Holland (actually Norway, since
my system thinks it's in Norway, the offset is the same anyway).

I run strace (truss for you): 'strace telnet localhost 25' and see that
exim runs the locale opens, plus gettimeofday. So that's how it gets its
date, time and GMT offset..

Best,

Tony
