That would not be a good idea. You are chasing a symptom (the way dovecot responds to a serious problem), instead of the problem. Maintaining correct time is absolutely critical on a server, *especially* a mail server. Fix the problem - why 'time just moved backwards' keeps happening - and the dovecot 'symptom' goes away. > In most cases we talk about, it can't be fixed permanently because > this happens after (cold or warm) system restart, when ntpd can take > up to 15 minutes (and in most cases about 3-5 minutes) to actually > resync the time. I see that Harlan already addressed why this is only true if you haven't done your homework. -- Best regards, Charles
