I have a similar problem, but the issue with me is that the time clock is correct. However when mail enters my mail server, it displays within a client one hour early.

If mail arrives at 08.16, it displays as 07.16. I have set the /etc/localtime to /usr/share/zoneinfo/Greenwich as I live in London, but it has made no difference. I have also, pointed /var/spool/postfix/etc/localtime to the same source but to no avail.

As so far as the log file for ntp is concerened, nothing has been written there even thought the service has started. Any clues?
