Description Erik Poupaert 2003-09-22 11:05:52 UTC

There's always a two-hour difference in getmail's log:

getmail finished for fa581627@SKYNET.BE@pop.skynet.be:110
gt30 mailhandler $ date
Mon Sep 22 20:02:27 CEST 2003
gt30 mailhandler $ cat getmail.log
22 Sep 2003 18:00:17 STAT: 0 messages 0 octets
...

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.getmail
2.verify getmail's log file
3.compare to the time as by the date command

Actual Results:  
getmail's time reporting is two hours off. That's annoying.

Expected Results:  
It should log the right time in its log file.

erik@linuxpresario erik $ emerge -p getmail
