A bit drastic, I must say! Personally, I'd just assume my watch was wrong. Full report from logwatch as follows:- Dovecot disconnects: Logged out: 2 Time(s) no reason: 6730 Time(s) **Unmatched Entries** dovecot: Time just moved backwards by 11 seconds. This might cause a lot of problems, so I'll just kill myself now. I remember that there was this problem before, but during the big memory upgrade, we moved to a new box, I think. The 6730 disconnects are unrelated to this, I had a couple of unsuccessful dictionary attacks on dovecot (using same sets of usernames etc) The suicidal nature of Dovecot is not a concern for me in the least as I am the only user (well sort of) actually retrieving mail from here, but thought I ought to mention it.
