Subject: Watch your clocks! Was: Re: [Exim] Mail gateway with sa-exim and exim
Sorry folks, I must be in a timekeeping phase and be particularly
sensitive to unset clocks... I promise, I will not intervene anymore
on this subject but this last one strikes me as an example of
incosistency. Just to remind that a properly synchronised clock is
essential on any server (and computer in general):

From other messages it appears that there are problems keeping some
Windows versions synched and in the proper timezone, but this one is
Linux, and is just completely out...

Thanks for your time..
