Looking through the logs of one of my mail servers i noticed a time difference in the mail log.
If you look at the line numbers 6,7,11 and 13 you will see a 3 hour difference.

After searching the internet i found an answer : create directory /var/spool/postfix/etc/
# mkdir /var/spool/postfix/etc
Copy file /etc/localtime to /var/spool/postfix/etc/
# cp /etc/localtime /var/spool/postfix/etc/
Reload postfix :
# postfix reload
