It's a good idea... I didn't know ntpdate, thank you, it's more useful for my
problem than ntpd that I already use.

Maybe this should be added in the postfix documentation... sure, it's the
admin responsibility to make sure the time is OK, but if the documentation
says that hundred of mails can be rejected by postfix in a few seconds if the
time is wrong at startup, and that ntpdate can prevent this problem, the
admin will certainly install it instead of thinking it's OK with ntpd only.
