More on this strange issue (from the info page that Michiel pointed me to):

Most compilers under DOS-derived systems return local time as a value of time(). Even worse, this value is inconsistent from one compiler to another and from one library to another, so that it's quite possible that binkd and some T-Mail log analyser will be using different implementations of time() and output inconsistent timing.

tzoff keyword provides a workaround for this bug. You can specify an arbitrary time offset (in seconds) in order to force both programs to give same time values. This keyword affects time offset for binary logging only specified by binlog and/or fdinhist and fdouthist.
