OK, the other reasonably obvious possibility is to turn that on its
head - is TZ set for the sendmail daemon that's started automagically
in your boot scripts ???
To check this on the RedHat system, look in /etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail
for any lines of the form "export TZ=??T" and, if they're found, kill
them. When you've done that, find the line that begins "start)" and
insert immediately after it the following line:
echo "*** Sendmail Timezone = <$TZ>" >&2
When you've done that and saved the file, reboot and watch the boot-up
messages to see what appears - it will NOT appear in dmesg as far as
I'm aware...
