Exim should be using whatever timezone the server is set for; show us the output of:

$ date

When i recieve a email @ 16:38, it show in my inbox 18:38

Your local email client probably takes the time and timezone information in your email headers and converts the time based on the timezone information for which your local system is set.

Problem solved

Hallo,

I'm habby.

My problem is solved. I had a timezone problem.

This are my solution.

Log in as root

$ su -

# cd /usr/share/zoneinfo

Search for your zone

# ls
# cd Europe

Important!!! Make a copy of your old timezone settings

copy your timezone to /etc/localtime

# cp Amsterdam /etc/localtime
# md5sum Amsterdam /etc/localtime

The md5sum is only for illustration.
