[Dovecot] Replication on v2.2.6 - I'm stuck (again)

[IT geek 31]

Hi Timo,

Thanks for the info.  I've upgraded to v2.2.7 and made the change.  Now I
get:

Nov  5 11:00:00 server1 dovecot: dsync-server(mark): Error: Couldn't lock
/home/mark/.dovecot-sync.lock: Timed out after 30 seconds
Nov  5 11:00:02 server1 dovecot: dsync-local(mark): Error: Couldn't lock
/home/mark/.dovecot-sync.lock: Timed out after 30 seconds

Also, I get a lot of errors about Dovecot trying to replicate mailboxes for
(system) users that don't have them.  Is there any way to exclude users
from replication?
