Hello, I am experiencing a number of 'Time moved backwards errors' such as: Mar 27 11:38:20 host-78-129-239-60 dovecot: imap-login: Time just moved backwards by 729 seconds. This might cause a lot of problems, so I'll just kill myself now. http://wiki.dovecot.org/TimeMovedBackwards Mar 27 15:20:10 host-78-129-239-60 dovecot: Time just moved backwards by 4214 seconds.

OK.. So I synced the clock.... and got .... dovecot: Time just moved backwards by 1 seconds. I'll sleep now until we're back in present. http://wiki.dovecot.org/TimeMovedBackwards ( The first time I did this the clock moved backwards 2 hours after a timezone change and dovecot suicided ) I think I understand the concept ... However a mail server should probably be synchronized to the local time ..... Suggestions ...??? Harry.

Time on my system is a little wonky so I reset the time and then I found out I'd broken Dovecot. I didn't realise that doing this would have an impact on dovecot. I read the web page and to be honest I'm not confident about hacking source code. I...

This wins the 2007 award for strangest (or most amusing) log message: dovecot: Time just moved backwards by 13 seconds. This might cause a lot of problems, so I'll just kill myself now. It does, unfortunately, leave dovecot dead, which was pretty mysterious to me. Maybe it could re-exec instead?

CentOS 5.1 Dovecot & Postfix (part of CentOS install & updated) I understand that there is a package which is part of Dovecot to handle "Auto Responses" known as Vacation. Where I can find more info on this package & especially how to install & configure it? Thanks Kirt

Hallo, I am running dovecot on a PC (a workstation) to have a mail client independent storage for my mails. Now I would like to have the system clock set correctly by using ntpd or ntpdate (using debian/sid). The problem is, that the PC is not online at boot time, but is set online on demand manually using "pon" to start the pppd later. So ntpd cannot sync the time on boot time
