How about first starting ntpd, forcing a time-update using ntpdate
even before starting ntpd, and delaying the dovecot start until after
the time has been adjusted?
The problem is tha you cannot tell when the time is adjusted because
it take some time to the ntp protocol to synchronize.
That's why I suggested to use ntpdate to force the correct time to be set
before ntpd even starts and the ntp init script returns.
Admittedly, this won't work if you have no network connectivity during
boot up, but if you have, this paticular problem is most likely solved.
ntpdate optionally can be given a timeout value and indicates success or
failure via its return code so that a calling script might initiate
appropriate measures.
Greetings,
