spamd logging with wrong timestamp?

[Dimitry Peisakhov <Di...@hwe.com.au>]

Hi guys,

   I've recently discovered that my spamd is writing to the logs with the
incorrect timestamp. It looks like its using GMT to timestamp instead of the
actual time on the box (11hr difference). I fixed this previously by
restarting the service, but its not doing the trick now.. Anyone have ideas
about this? There doesnt seem to be any switches for spamd to control
timestamps or timezone config.

thanks,

I had a similar problem a couple of weeks ago with a machine that had an
older OS on it.  sendmail was logging the correct timestamp but MailScanner
was logging about 2 hours behind.  The way I resolved it was to add the '-r'
switch to my syslog initscript.
