Dovecot Replica one user at a time

[Claudio Corvino]

I just activated a rate limit on my IPsec on the Doveadm replication 
port in order to not flood my VPN.

I have a question: when I will activate replication in production, it 
will take days (or weeks, maybe) to complete the sync between two remote 
branches, it will be a problem for the normal flow of the e-mail?

I mean, until sync of all mailboxes is completed do I will notice 
slowness in the normal e-mail flow?

Are there any other things that I will have to take care?

Thanks

Best
