LDAP and user duplicated with replication

Hi Christian,

if I try:

/user_attrs =
sAMAccountName=user,=home=/mnt/mail-storage-lv0007/%$,=uid=501,=gid=501/

then the result on node A is:

/# doveadm user its-test//
//field    value//
//uid    501//
//gid    501//
//home    /mnt/mail-storage-lv0007///
//mail maildir:~/Maildir:INDEX=/var/indexes/its-test/

on node B where I didn't change anything the result is:

/# doveadm user its-test
field    value
uid    501
gid    501
home    /mnt/mail-storage-lv0007/its-test
mail maildir:~/Maildir:INDEX=/var/indexes/its-test/

I think that the home is correct on node B, don't you?

Then when I do a search like this:

/doveadm replicator status '*'/

I have the same result on both nodes:

/# doveadm replicator status '*'//
//username priority fast sync full sync success sync failed//
//its-test low      00:04:05  19:57:52  19:58:47     - //
//its-test2 none     19:59:43  19:59:43  44:01:24     - /

I have to specify that in these days I did some tests and removed all 
the users with domain part in the name with the following command:

/doveadm replicator remove its-test2 at domain.com/

/doveadm replicator remove its-test at domain.com/

But I don't know if this is useful, I have executed the same command in 
production servers and all the users with the domain part in the name 
reappeared after a few minutes; in test environment anyway after 
/doveadm replicator remove/ command, these users are not reappearing ... 
I don't know why.

Thanks for your help!

Kind Regards
