I also have a problem with this, caused by running ntp. My server was switched off for two weeks over Christmas. When it was powered back on, ntpd started, immediately followed by Dovecot. 7 seconds later ntpd reset the time backwards by 26 seconds and Dovecot killed itself, leaving me to later wonder why mail wasn't working. In 420175 there's a suggestion to increase Dovecot's "allowed sleep time before killing itself". Is there a configuration option for this, as I can't find one in the documentation?
