Hi,
Thanks. Like i said i read it all and somehow i have some trouble interpreting it and that is why i mentioned that i kinly asked for some help not re-quoting the manual as that didn't lead to a successful attempt so after reading everything and trying everything out i tried the mailing-list.
the page is actually confusing and a kind user (thank you so much) emailed me and helped me out. (the man page is actually not correct in my opinion or i totally interpret it wrong :)
This did work :
# doveadm sync -u mailboxuser@mydomain.com ssh -p 15223 SSHLOGINUSER@mydomain.com doveadm dsync-server -u mailboxuser@mydomain.com
The main difference is the -p parameter (not present in sample and doc neither is the -i parameter so please next time don't quote blindly) and that it is the SSHLOGINuser that's important which in the sample is called mail-user (not the same in my opinion). Again i might have read it all wrong but else a small update to the wiki could be useful ? thanks mailing-list and the user that helped me out.
regards,

Hi all,
First sorry i really couldn't find it back been searching everywhere even the docs and its bit confusing. I am using # doveadm -D sync -u *@mydomain.net remote:myserver.net # which works perfect however for security reasons we now need to change the sshd port on the remote server. How do i tell doveadm to use a custom SSH port (would love to continue to use just the ssh connection), if anyone could explain that would be great, because all i found is custom tcp or tcp ssl which is not what we want to use, as i wish to stick with custom ssh port. From the dsync man page
EXAMPLE SYNCHRONIZATION Synchronize mailboxes with a remote server. Any errors are written to stderr.
doveadm sync -u username@example.com remote:server-replica.example.com
If you need more complex parameters to ssh, you can use e.g.:
doveadm sync -u username@example.com ssh -i id_dsa.dovecot
mailuser@example.com doveadm dsync-server -u username@example.com
