my experience with CentOS/Dovecot was that when the clock is reset back, Dovecot writes a message into /var/log/messages saying, IIRC, "Time just went backwards. This could cause problems so I'll just kill myself now." And mail transport stops.
FWIW, here's a cron job for starting dovecot when it's not running for whatever reason:
service dovecot status >/dev/null 2>&1 || \ service dovecot start >/dev/null 2>&1 -- -Eric 'shubes'
