I thought everyone knew that if you removed the 1.55v watch battery from
the motherboard, you could put in a 1.6v battery and time will run
faster. Then just use ntpdate - time will never jump forward, and
dovecot won't crash.


:D

Hi,

As Timo just stated, you definitely should run ntpd, which tries to adjust the clock's pace smoothly, instead of ntpdate, which abruptly changes the clock and should only be used *before* starting ntpd (typically at service startup), to catch up a difference too big for ntpd to handle in a reasonable time.

If time moves backwards, Dovecot will not crash, but will kill itself, which in the end amounts to pretty much the same. ;-)
