Ooops I just broke my dovecot install.
I've looked through the mailing list archives and not found anything relevant.
When I try to connect to my mail server I get this message. "Could not connect to mail server chen.home.org; connection was refused"
The last message in /var/log/mail.err is:-
Aug 13 21:02:27 chen dovecot: Fatal: Time just moved backwards by 3603 seconds. This might cause a lot of problems, so I'll just kill myself now. http://wiki.dovecot.org/TimeMovedBackwards
It seems this is my own fault. 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've reinstalled dovecot which worked except it hasn't solved my time travel problem.
By the way since my first install of dovecot the config file seems to have changed a little but since I've tried to migrate my settings over the new file and been met with the same problem I don't think it's that.
Is it possible to get dovecot working again?

Stephen.
