The strange thing was that postfix, dovecot, sqlgrey & spamd  all log
to /var/log/maillog, but only sqlgrey was getting the time wrong.

I think it must have been a permissions thing. Postfix runs as user
'postfix', dovecot as 'dovecot', spamd as 'filter' and sqlgrey as
'sqlgrey'. All the other users were members of the group 'mail'. I made
sqlgrey a member of 'mail',  restarted sqlgrey and the time is now
logged correctly.
