Ah ic. The log entries were from the same daemon running on the local machine. It seemed strange to me that it would just start logging in UTC all of a sudden. So strange that I went back to check those log entries, and they're both TLS connections from a friend of mine in New Zealand. His mail client uses smtps as opposed to the starttls method. I tried doing the same on my end and the problem reproduces itself. Am guessing it might have something to do with the TLS patch for Postfix. I'm going to write to the author and see if he has any ideas :). Thanks for your help.
