This is admittedly a site-dependent thing, but I'd be surprised if there were many admins who'd voluntarily leave themselves open to a known spam source while closing it off for their users. My suggestion is: when you configure MTA to not accept e-mail from a source, it should allow that source to send mail to at least root, postmaster and hostmaster, or some other configurable accounts. Leave /well-known/ accounts open to more spam? Why? And why should I lower shields on the basis of a potentially insincere email apology from a potentially incompetent admin to whom I haven't spoken a single word?

I think your problem is due to a fundamental misunderstanding of signed GMT offset notation for TZ. A positive offset is actually treated as a location _behind_ UTC (ie. _west_ of the Greenwich meridian). I can't recall the reasoning behind this seemingly counter-intuitive notation, but the timezone-related tools I've examined all use this convention. This, of course, neatly accounts for the 4-hour discrepancy you're seeing. If you want to continue using GMT offset notation on your system, you should therefore set TZ to GST-2 (or something similar -- it's been a while since I played with timezone info). It may actually work better if you use a locale-name setting for TZ; the tzselect program (if you have it) will work it out for you.
