Hello Amon,

All our systems run ntpd, but they might be offline for a while before they get contact to a time server, e.g. because of DSL problems.
Define one of your "internal" systems as "master time server" that connects to other NTP servers outside your networks and make your other systems synchronize their system time with this machine.
Thanks for the tip, but these are customer systems. Most of them only buy one server system from us and have Windows clients behind. So there is no other system available, which could be master. Instead, our server is supposed to be time master. :)
From customer point of view, the mail server does not work without reason. An error message would help to understand the problem and the proposed behaviour would keep dovecot running. Now some of them just reboot the system (Windows users...), this is not the desired solution.
