My users are reporting that timestamps on messages are incorrect, even though their system time is accurate and so is the time on my Exchange server. Has anyone seen this before and if so, do you know where I can look to find the discrepancy? thanks!
 
Messages in Exchange are stamped with Universal, or Grenwich Mean Time, also known as Zulu time. The client Time Zone setting then calculates what time it should display. My guess is a time zone or Daylight Savings setting wrong somewhere. Mail from outside (Internet) is stamped by the senders client/server which could be ANYTHING, and then will be stamped on its way in with YOUR time settings. If it is a message from outside, open the message, select View, Options and it will display the full Internet headers, including timestamps along the way.
