Hello,

I have an openvz-based VPS running Centos 5.2.

Increasingly, the Dovecot IMAP service is returning 'Time moved backwards' 
errors, which on further research appear to be due to incorrect results 
returned by the system when the gettimeofday() function is called.

It is discussed on the dovecot wiki 
http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2008-June/031548.html

and on the Kernel mailing list http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/8/23/96

which suggest that it may be due to a 'misconfigured virtual server'.

I have raised the issue with my VPS provider, who have reported that 'The jury 
is out' as to whether this is likely to be a Dovecot, or OpenVZ configuration 
problem.

I would be very grateful for any advice as to how I should best test which is 
the more likely case, and how I should best describe the problem to my VPS 
provider.

Thank you,

Patrick Vale
