You should search the mailing list archives for others with this
issue, as it's been discussed many times.  You also should be more
descriptive what "looking like it was sent..." means.  Show the mail
headers and indicate if the received times for all the other mails in
the inbox are converted to Sao Paulo time or not.  Also check your web
server logs for errors related to setting the time zone (IIRC when you
log in).
