Hello,
the replication procedure described at https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/replication/ suggests to open a server port 12345 on two systems, and then point each system to the other one. This creates bi-directional synchronization.
I want to synchronize only from server A to server B, but not in the opposite direction. Is it sufficient on server A to set
service doveadm { inet_listener { port = 12345 } } doveadm_password = secret
and server B to set
doveadm_port = 12345 doveadm_password = secret
? In other words, when a doveadm client (system B) connects to a server (system A) for replication purposes, does it only read data? Or does it instruct the server also to delete data?
To start the replication I had to executed «doveadm replicator replicate '*'». Is in necessary to run this periodically?
Thanks for your answer, Дилян
