Time jumps, especially backwards, are not a good thing on a server. You
should really consider changing from ntpdate to for example ntpd that
takes care of keeping the clock synchronized, without unnecessarily
stepping the clock. You should probably do this even if the actual cause
of Dovecot crashing turns out not to be the time jumps.
Dovecot typically logs via syslog, so the logs go where your syslog
writes them to. Usually something under /var/log.
