Also I want mail to root to be forwarded (by postfix) to my gmail account. However, this messages appears to be using the gmail account as a relay to root.home.test

Set the time with an NTP-ing daemon, even fakeclock or the like. Then, you might need to delay the rotation from starting until the time has been updated.

After my prior post I noticed that openntpd was failing to set the clock.
I think the openntpd problem started when I installed bind on this Pogoplug and pointed the nameserver to localhost.
I uninstalled openntpd and installed ntp which is setting the clock.
However, it takes NTP almost 4 minutes to set the clock after boot.

I found the solution to the bad date problem here.
