Hi Aki and all the Dovecot team,
thank you for your work on Dovecot.
As the "built-in" replication is going to cease (I do not want to discuss the reasoning or any judgement here):
Can you (the Dovecot developers) ensure that a kind of "notification socket"¹ will be there, even if you do not provide a the replicator feature?
And - but that's already a feature request - could you use this (or an other socket) for notifications on sieve script changes?
I can imagine using this socket as an "official" interface to external software. Actually that would implicate that the notification messages are documented and stable, but I'm sure, this would be possible (if not done already).
¹) That is how I understand the current mechanism of the replication: the replicator gets a notification via the socket and starts replicating the mailbox.
Best regards from Dresden/Germany
Viele Grüße aus Dresden
