I hadn't thought of that (system versus user time zone). It could
explain the original problem report. The difference is really an
accident of implementation.
When the mail system is running, the mailq command connects to a
showq daemon which reports times according to the system time zone.
When the mail system is stopped, the super-user can still execute
the mailq command. In this case, mailq executes the showq program
directly, and will report times according to the "user" time zone.
