NTP Time Broke

Now you have confused me once more.

Does this mean the email is generated and sent five hours to early? At 03:00 local instead of 08:00 local as configured? This would indicate the scheduler isn't properly working on the local configured time zone.

So this is the "new" case since the recent update?

Or is the report generated on the scheduled time, but the SMTP header isn't correct? This option I would exclude due to the log entry shown above.

Yes, of course, the simple sendmail does start with the header generation.

Can't say much more here on the R7000 and the latest firmware. Had spent reasonable time on the R9000 and found certain oddities, where I tend to state it's kind of a Netgear router "standard". While we have the time and time zone correctly configured, the system and the shell does still claim run on GMT, but showing the local time (while a "real" Linux system does make it different, read: Correct). The environment variables of course are showing the effecive time zone, while checking the time on the shell shows GMT, but the local time. This requires certain code changes, being for the scheduler, the simple sendmail, and several more ... to make them believe they operate in the effective time zone. That's why I don't wonder to much that certain code updates lead to these kind of odd issues. I made to much noise abut that, and as a result Netgear removed the ability to enable the telnet access in response to my nagging.
