I'd just put a message in the log file and change the system time
(unless the mailer event was less than the time taken)

Still a delay of 5 seconds isn't going to be a big problem either.
you may want to ignore differences of greater than a certain amount
(if the remote end sets their clock wrong....)

if you want you could use inkey to delay and if the use doesn't say no
include the inkey delay could be the synchronisation delay.

most times you'll probably only have to adjust by a few seconds
(if you only get 1 second difference probably you should ignore it
because it could really be less than one second)
