According to the commit[1] it seems IOLOOP_MAX_TIME_BACKWARDS_SLEEP determines a time limit in seconds, in which dovecot will hang waiting for time to get back to at least what is was (assuring that nothing is done "in the past".)My point is: could Dovecot restart itself insted of killing itself?
That's not enough to fix all the potential problems, because the future time may already be used in files' timestamps.
As others mentioned, using ntpd avoids this problem entirely.
