Hello,

I've got some scripts that archive off mail that stopped working with 2.3.17. Specifically this worksin 2.3.16:

sudo -n /usr/local/bin/dsync -u dluke -m Sent -o mail_location=mbox:~/tmp/ mirror maildir:~/Maildir/

but fails on 2.3.17 with the following error message:

dsync: invalid option -- E

I've just noticed that I have the same error when running my weekly e-mail backup. The command I use is: dsync -v -u $USER backup -P mdbox:/secure/$USER/mdbox

which resulted in backup: invalid option -- 'E'

I don't use, nor do I know of, any such option.

When can we expect a 2.3.18 fixing this? (or, is it advisable to downgrade to 2.3.16?).

Thanks in advance, Bernardo
