If I do omit the remote '-f' the old syntax is being accepted. Thanks for fixing that.
Right, the remote -f parameter doesn't do anything. But it's anyway now allowed: http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.1/rev/9c6eeeb810c0
Ok, that means it has always been ignored in 2.0.x ;-)
doveadm sync -f -u test test@remote-host.tld

Remove the "ssh" parameter from the middle and change vmail@ to test@
That doesn't work in my ssh setup, because I'm using a different ssh port and thus have to run:
ssh -p 1234 vmail@remote-host.tldSorry, I should have mentioned that before.
In your other mail about 'dsync replication' you refer to a config option: #dsync_remote_cmd = ssh -l%{login} %{host} doveadm dsync-server -u%u -l%{lock_timeout} -n%{namespace}
Would that allow for ssh options to be set?
Users are virtual ones at both mail servers, and vmail is the only system user to run ssh. Thus I can't test user suggestion. But it's ok to add a 'doveadm dsync-server -u test'.
In this syntax the test@ means Dovecot user, not system user. Although I'm not sure if that's a good idea. In the latest hg version the preferred way is:
doveadm sync -f -u test remote:vmail@host
See above regarding ssh options.
Now, I will stick to 2.1.x because syncing is done without loss of mails (after 10 days of testing). The only inconvenience remaining is reappearing of deleted and "undeletable" mail. But it seems that I'm the only one reporting that. How could I help to debug this issue?
Is anything else besides Dovecot modifying the mailboxes? Especially deleting mails? No cronjobs or other scripts that "rm" mails?
No. Only dovecot is allowed to deliver mail (lmtp). Sieve's 'copy:' and 'fileinto' are used as well. But no scripts or such are used to remove mail. I'm running mdbox only.
Thanks and regards, Michael
