That's it exactly - the odd thing is that when 'deliver' drops a message 
in the mailbox, it uses GMT.   When I use vdelivermail, time is GMT -0500.

Here's an ls -la of my new/ directory, you can see where I changed to 
vdelivermail, then back to deliver.

What I don't understand is why the timestamp would be different with 
deliver.   What's odd is that the time in the filename itself appears 
correct.   Weird.

I'm calling deliver from procmail like so:
#|/usr/bin/env -i HOME=$DOMDIR /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver
