> Good idea! But I have a problem. I tried to stop the replication (doveadm replicator remove <myuser>) for an user on both server. Verified with "doveadm replicator status <myuser>", it doesn't return, so I assume the replicator is off for this account. Then I try to send an email to this account to verify the replication is really stopped, but it activate again by itself? I receive the mail on both server and If I type "doveadm replicator status <myuser>", it seem like replication is back on.

Why does "doveadm replicator status <myuser>" not return?

I've tried the following commands on a replicated server (2.2.33.2), which all returned immediately:

[root at server ~]# doveadm replicator status user at domain.com
username         priority fast sync full sync success sync failed
user at domain.com  none     12:30:32  12:30:32  12:30:31     -     

[root at server ~]# doveadm replicator remove user at domain.com

[root at server ~]# doveadm replicator status user at domain.com
username         priority fast sync full sync success sync failed
                 (no additional output as replication is stopped)

[root at server ~]# doveadm replicator add user at domain.com

[root at server ~]# doveadm replicator status user at domain.com
username         priority fast sync full sync success sync failed
user at domain.com  none     00:00:02  00:00:02  00:00:01     -     
                 (replication working again)


Maybe replication had not been stopped yet on your server.


Best regards
