exim -bP |grep timezone gives:
timezone = GMT+2
telnet lcoalhost gives:
220 marcus.wits.ac.za ESMTP Exim 4.10 Mon, 14 Oct 2002 08:25:08 -0200
date on the system gives:
Mon Oct 14 08:25:31 GMT 2002
So it gives the right time, but the wrong offset (-0200). When a users
gets mail from the server, his mail programs show the mail a 4 hours ahead.
