Default Timezone problem - Exim 4.50

Hi,
I am running Exim 4.50 on my home network. Everything works fine
except the received time of messages is offset by 7 hours..

Like if the current time on my machine (which is set to UTC) is 13:00,
then an outside message received will have a time of: 20:00...

The strange thing is that if I send a message to a local user then the
correct time is displayed..

I'm showing the headers of the OUTSIDE EMAIL:

---------
This one is FROM OUTSIDE (yahoo):
------
Delivery-Date: Sun, 18 Sep 2005 14:15:48 +0000

Received: from web52201.mail.yahoo.com ([206.190.48.124]) by
FoxServer3.simfoxonline.net with smtp (Exim 4.50) id 1EGzxM-0001dn-0K
for smalik@simfoxonline.net; Sun, 18 Sep 2005 14:15:48 +0000

Received: (qmail 93783 invoked by uid 60001); 8 Sep 2005 21:16:26
-0000 (<!!--- NOTICE THIS IS THE INCORRECT TIME !!>)

But that's nine days in the future. Are you sure you're running with UTC?

Lets have a look:

Time now is 7:51 GMT

swayne@wayne->~$ nc 69.105.82.32 smtp
220 FoxServer3.simfoxonline.net ESMTP Exim 4.50 Mon, 19 Sep 2005 00:51:32
+0000

Looks like you're servers got the wrong time.

Steven

Ay Caramba! The time was 9 days ahead (thanks for noticing), but it
still did not fix the problem ;(

I am running Gentoo and I changed /etc/rc.conf CLOCK to UTC and I
deleted the /etc/localtime... This is the output of date:

Fri Sep 9 09:43:24 UTC 2005

Hehe! OOPS! Server's time WAS fine all the time

The problem was with the client (my computer)... I had recently emerged
the latest baselayout in Gentoo.. and it had overwritten
/etc/rc.conf... which changed my clock from "local" to UTC...

Thanks again for the help though!

Saad.
