Date Dunce

[Brian Kelsay]

Jim, he has a dead mobo battery and an electrical system put together with bailing wire and scotch tape.  The "time server" is a crusty old Casio on his wrist that is off by over a year, 2 hrs and 34 minutes.  He connects to the net by means of a pringles can aimed by Mark I eyeball at a satellite just barely above the ecliptic with a slight wobble.

I understand weird system configurations because I often do it myself.  But
I can't conceive the convoluted configuration you must have where accurate
local system time is a bad thing and just the mail software should get time
from somewhere else.  Understanding your setup sounds like a good "computer
game" so please tell me what you have.
