In most cases we talk about, it can't be fixed permanently because this
happens after (cold or warm) system restart, when ntpd can take up to 15
minutes (and in most cases about 3-5 minutes) to actually resync the time.
And since people are forced to restart Dovecot anyway, despite terrible
warnings, and then nothing bad happens, people get the feeling that the
problem is really artificially complicated =)
