Dovecot 'suicide'
I have a Dovecot installation on a Fedora 4.
With the last update from Dovecot RC10 to Dovecot RC27, the daemon
kills itself every night with this error:
Mar 17 05:23:11 mail dovecot: Time just moved backwards by 6 seconds.
This might cause a lot of problems, so I'll just kill m
yself now.
The error appears just after the night maintenance script executes a
ntpdate syncronization

Return error instead of dying on time back skip?
Hello everybody!
Currently, dovecot just kills itself if it detects that time has moved
backwards more than a hardcoded number of seconds. I accept the
reasons, but I do not like to restart dovecot manually after waiting
for time to move forward again. A cron job would not help, because
time might still be wrong when it restarts dovecot.
All our systems run ntpd, but they might be offline
