[Dovecot] Server Time 45min ahead

[maximus12]

Thanks a lot for your quick response.

I thought that dovecot won't start until the server time reaches the time
before the "time jump".

>From your point of view dovecot will start normally if I adjust the time
when dovecot is stopped?

Thanks a lot for clarification.
