Hi all, I am running dovecot version 1.1.1 (dovecot --version) and keeps to have time moved backwards problem. I first found dovecot dead without obvious error message, but see the following when restart dovecot service by
# service dovecot restart >Stopping Dovecot Imap: [FAILED] >Starting Dovecot Imap: Warning: Last died with error (see error log for more information): Time just moved backwards by 4398 seconds. This might cause a lot of problems, so I'll just kill myself now. http://wiki.dovecot.org/TimeMovedBackwards [ OK ] I followed the above official wiki link and apply the ntpd service for adjusting the server timestamp. After running the ntpd service, I found the server timestamp drift is only 14.333 microsecond, I think which would be reasonable. But I still get the captioned error. Does anyone have the same experience? BTW, I couldn't find the error log message even I confirmed the info, error and debug log file by visiting this wiki document http://wiki.dovecot.org/Logging, does it really not log at the log file? I can just keep monitoring the log and use the following command to determine whether dovecot is running or not. # service dovecot status Thank you very much! Yours Sincerely, Jacky, Hoi Kei Chan,
