--- Begin Message ---Package: dovecot-common Version: 1:1.2.15-7 Severity: important Hi! Currently on a system with a bad rtc dovecot never correctly starts. This is because ntpd sets the clock ~4 minutes backwards on boot which causes dovecot to exit. Maybe just start dovecot after ntpd? So the correct time is already present when dovecot starts up.

It merely waits max(jump, 3min) before re-launching any worker services, which is a good workaround. Other than that, even if we ordered dovecot after ntpd, there are no guarantees whatsoever that ntpd will have acquired a sync before dovecot has started. Marking this as closed, as at least current dovecot versions survive backward time jumps relatively gracefully. Regards, Apollon
