I have now installed ntpdate, although I haven't yet tested it by using the BIOS to adjust the clock during a reset. The ntp documentation discourages the use of ntpdate, suggesting that it shouldn't be necessary as ntpd will do the adjustment itself, which it does, but only after a short delay. Ntp on its own isn't a complete solution, as the Dovecot documentation suggests. Shouldn't the Debian package of Dovecot at least suggest both ntp and ntpdate?
