[Dovecot] May 05 07:20:21 imap: Warning: Time jumped forwards 16 seconds

[Patrick Domack]

ntp isn't a magical fix.

You need a good selection of source servers, or local time sources for  
it to pick a steady reliable time to use.

Also, if the clock in your computer drifts too much, ntp will refuse  
to correct it or keep it in sync at all.
