Betreff: [Dovecot] Problem to setup replication
Hi,
i tried to setup replication since some days but I'am stuck now.
My conf:
# 2.2.10: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
# OS: Linux 2.6.32-431.3.1.el6.x86_64 x86_64 CentOS release 6.5 (Final)
dsync_remote_cmd = ssh -l%{login} %{host} /usr/bin/doveadm dsync-server -u%u -l%{lock_timeout} -n%{namespace}
log_path = /var/log/dovecot
mail_gid = 5000
mail_home = /var/vmail/%d/%n
mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir
mail_plugins = " notify replication"
mail_uid = 5000
managesieve_notify_capability = mailto
managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date ihave
mbox_write_locks = fcntl
namespace inbox {
inbox = yes
location =
mailbox Drafts {
special_use = \Drafts
}
mailbox Junk {
special_use = \Junk
}
mailbox Sent {
special_use = \Sent
}
mailbox "Sent Messages" {
special_use = \Sent
}
mailbox Trash {
special_use = \Trash
}
prefix =
}
passdb {
args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf
driver = sql
}
plugin {
mail_replica = remote:vmail@server1.domain.dom
replication_full_sync_interval = 1 hours
sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve
sieve_dir = ~/sieve
}
protocols = imap sieve
service aggregator {
fifo_listener replication-notify-fifo {
user = vmail
}
unix_listener replication-notify {
user = vmail
}
}
service auth {
unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth {
mode = 0666
user = postfix
}
unix_listener auth-master {
mode = 0600
user = vmail
}
unix_listener auth-userdb {
group = vmail
mode = 0600
user = vmail
}
}
service managesieve-login {
inet_listener sieve_deprecated {
port = 2000
}
}
service replicator {
process_min_avail = 1
unix_listener replicator-doveadm {
mode = 0600
user = vmail
}
}
ssl = required
ssl_cert = 

sql-conf:
driver = mysql
connect = host=127.0.0.1 dbname=xxx user=mailuser password=xxx
default_pass_scheme = SSHA512
password_query = SELECT email as user, password FROM virtual_users WHERE email='%u';
user_query = SELECT email as user FROM virtual_users WHERE email ='%u';
iterate_query = SELECT email as user FROM virtual_users WHERE email='%u';

The config on the other node is similar, except the mail_replica settings. The weird thing is, that my logs are completly empty. I see only the dovecot startup messages and nothing else. I don't understand why the replication never starts by itself or why there are no errors or anything else in the log. I already read the dovecot replication howto in the official documentation, but IMO I've setup everything already like in the docs.

I've already tried to replicate my mailboxes using dsync, but if I run the dsync command I get only this output:
bash-4.1$ ssh vmail@server1.domain.dom /usr/bin/doveadm dsync-server -u john@domain.dom

Any help would be appreciated, because I've really no other ideas anymore.
Thanks in advance
