Its not the log timezone Im talking about.. However I may be mistaken in my details. For some reason I thought we were already in regular not day light savings. Actually we are still in DLS time, so exims GMT of -7 is correct. We'll see what happens we the system turn to GMT -8, but after looking around somemore I found a reference to setting timezone = in the exim config file, which would make it use system time. I don't know for sure if this will work, but I won't know until Oct 30th..
My current problem seems to be a product of my webmail system not supporting Daylight Savings Time. Thanks.
