Hi all,
Another question regarding migration. While migrating a mailbox with dsync is it safe to deliver mail via LMTP to the new (target) mailbox or is it wiser to deactivate LMTP delivery to this mailbox until it's fully migrated?
And what methods could I use to stop delivery to a mailbox during migration? Our user data is stored on an LDAP server.
Cheers,
Considering you're planning to use doveadm backup, you can't deliver into the new mailbox. From dsync man page:
backup - Backup mails from default mail location to location2 (or vice versa, if -R parameter is given). No changes are ever done to the source location. Any changes done in destination are discarded.
Unless I misunderstood something, this means that if you deliver messages to the new mailbox, next run of doveadm backup will remove them.
