( 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
You don't really mean what you are saying, I think. Anyway: what do you do with all those little file timestamps coming from the future?
Many servers dislike time jumping backwards. I've seen even cron killing itself. Above reaction of dovecot is indeed quite friendly.
FWIW -- if I have to turn back the clock of a server I don't want to reboot, I just slow down the clock and wait...
