Hello
From: "Timo Sirainen" tss@iki.fi
But really, all this leads is that admin has to detect the dovecot termination and simply go and restart it manually -- after some bad thoughts. Or the admin actually permanently fixes the time.
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 =)
