The postfix smtpd runs in a chroot jail that has no access to
/etc/localtime or /usr/lib/zoneinfo/localtime.  The Debian
/etc/init.d/postfix script tries to keep the chroot jail up to date
with changes to /etc/localtime, at least in Woody.  So an
"/etc/init.d/postfix stop; /etc/init.d/postfix start" should cure the
problem.
