Further info: this whole "time moved forward" thing had a long discussion and eventual fix in 2.3:
https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/dovecot-time-moved-forwards.82886/page-2 For the record, how my clock compares with a standard: > > sntp time.euro.apple.com > +0.109836 +/- 0.031550 time.euro.apple.com 17.253.14.251 So, first there seems to be a bug in this somewhere since dovecot is clearly getting wrong time info. Then this also seems related to dovecot eventually crashing on me.
