How are you syncing the clock? The preferred method is to run ntpd to keep the clock synced by nudging the timer faster or slower instead of doing large time corrections.
dovecot: Time just moved backwards by 1 seconds. I'll sleep now until we're back in present. http://wiki.dovecot.org/TimeMovedBackwards
Daemons that work with timestamped logs and files don't like time to go backwards, especially when they are running. Dovecot is nice about it, while some others will either silently die, or corrupt something.
( 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 .....
Suggestions ...???
