We tested dovecot for a fair amount of time and decided finally to put it into production under CentOS 7 (we are running 2.2.10). I just joined the list, so I apologize for what is probably a question that has been answered many times, but I was wondering if there are any plans to implement replication among 3 or more servers (all "masters", as with 2)? As best as I can tell, replication seems to be limited to 2 servers, and it is not obvious to me even how more than 2 would be supported syntactically in the configs. That is, what might be an example of the "mail_replica" clauses if such a thing was supported?
if you *really* have that large number of users and load you should split them to different servers (replicated server pairs) because you end in replication overhead eating away all the benefits otherwise
master-master replication independent of the software is somehow limited by phyiscs (delays, replication traffic, replication I/O) and can't scale endless
