Postfix : wrong time on sent emails
 
All of my logs have the correct times logged against events including the maillog but when I receive an email into my mail client it has a time that is drastically wrong by a number of hours.
My system time is set correctly.

I am using fedora 7, postfix & dovecot if it helps.

Any ideas?
Thanks

How did you install Postfix? RPM or by source? Make sure you don't have a /var/spool/postfix/etc/localtime or anything like that where it might be reading from by default as it will need to point or symlink to the /etc/localtime file instead. And of course, make sure your system time is correct, with correct timezone, etc.

Postfix : wrong time on sent emails
 
Here is the solution for this problem.
If the client have wrong time settings, the email will be sent using this wrong time. We have to make postfix change this time to the current time.
Please see this solution and reply if you have any problem or need any help.
