mail_replica in userdb?

22 May 2022


      I seem to have got replication working from an older instance to a newer one (insofar as the data are present on the new box) that I’m looking to stand up to replace a newer box. In this case, nothing is configured to talk to the new machine yet, so the replication is unidirectional (old -> new).
However, I’m seeing an error like like this repeatedly in syslog:
2022-05-21T23:23:15.295252+00:00 basement-imap01 dovecot: doveadm(hile@coyhile.com): Error: sync: User has no mail_replica in userdb
What setting did I miss?
kdoveconf -n
# 2.3.7.2 (3c910f64b): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
# Pigeonhole version 0.5.7.2 ()
# OS: Linux 5.4.0-110-generic x86_64 Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS

doveadm_password = # hidden, use -P to show it
mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir
mail_privileged_group = mail
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-ldap.conf.ext
driver = ldap
}
protocols = " imap lmtp"
service aggregator {
fifo_listener replication-notify-fifo {
mode = 0666
user = vmail
}
unix_listener replication-notify {
mode = 0666
user = vmail
}
}
service doveadm {
inet_listener {
port = 12345
}
user = vmail
}
service replicator {
unix_listener replicator-doveadm {
mode = 0666
}
}
ssl_cert = 
Is that error something that I can (for the moment) ignore since I’m explicitly NOT trying to have this host replicate data anywhere, or do I need to tweak something?
