SMTP logging and timestamp

Ok, I've got Windows Server 2003 running multiple SMTP servers each with different domains.

I log all activity, the logging is configured to use local time.

The problem is that the timestamps are 4 hours in the future. The time is correct on the server.

Any ideas? I don't want to waste a call to MS for something like this...

..OMFG, I searched technet on this, first I get three results none of which apply. then i click on "more results" and get NOTHING; no results. ...i like MS but when they suck they suck is all the way down.

confus-ed

I'd pressume that your 'server time' was 'bios time' ... but GMT maybe - you don't happen to be 4 hours 'different' from whatever your server is synchronising to ? What time zone is "Somewhere in the western spiral arm of the galaxy." ???

I had a mad problem with this with some machines in Poland, all my servers were adjusted to BST (british summer time) but my clients were adjusted to GMT which is currently one hour fast or is that slow ? - awwww 'pants' I'm confus-ed again :D ...
