ntp isn't a magical fix. You need a good selection of source servers, or local time sources for it to pick a steady reliable time to use. Also, if the clock in your computer drifts too much, ntp will refuse to correct it or keep it in sync at all. Quoting Frank Bonnet : Hello I get th

I think your just alittle confused. There are two crypts basically, the crypt function, and the crypt hash. The crypt hash has the 8 letter limit for the most part and is not really used anymore. when you specify {CRYPT}, dovecot just uses the crypt function, from libc or libcrypt, and then
