Hi recently I put together a new server using postfix as the smtp. I
have been getting this error on the logs "warning: backward time jump
detected -- slewing clock. I know this is reported by the postfix's
queue manager. My question is should I be concerned about this error
and is this software or hardware related and what can be done to fix
this.

Maybe ntpdate set the clock backwards...

What else do you use to keep the clock synchronised?

well i used ntp, then i stopped using it and im still seeing that
message in the logs, so right now im not using anything although the
time seems accurate to me. is there something i should be checking for
or doing since ntp didnt help.
