OK..
So I synced the clock....

dovecot: Time just moved backwards by 1 seconds. I'll sleep now until we're

timezone change and dovecot suicided )
I think I understand the concept ...
However a mail server should probably be synchronized to the local time
You don't really mean what you are saying, I think. Anyway: what do you
of course I do .....
The server I was talking about was a test server, fresh install, and I
corrected the time zone ....
So If U are offended, I am sorry ....
On the other hand if U have NOT something real to share .... please do
not answer .... at least with an empty answer ....
You will probably make other people tired + disappointed too,
searching the list trying to locate the answer to this question ....
do with all those little file timestamps coming from the future?
I haven't reached the point where a summer or winter time change
happened ... :-) , yet .........
I would hate the moment that I would have to explain to my users that
they have to wait for a couple of hours ....
until the server wakes up again ...!!!!
Also add that I tend not to explain in techno-mambo-jumbo-geek (
metaphorically ;-) ) terminology what is going on ....
Having said all of the above ...
My apologies to the list for the extra paragraphs and being of-topic ...
Cheers,
Harry.
Many servers dislike time jumping backwards. I've seen even cron killing
itself. Above reaction of dovecot is indeed quite friendly.
FWIW -- if I have to turn back the clock of a server I don't want to
reboot, I just slow down the clock and wait...
