Hello Angel,

I've been reading doc at http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Director to configure my servers. My question is regarding configuration of doveadm server.
I have configured both, director and backend servers, as described in that doc, but I don't know how to run doveadm commands in director servers.
doveadm is working, because I can run commands, but they are executed in local (director) server.
See http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Tools/Doveadm/Mailbox doveadm help doveadm help who
A few doveadm commands allow the -S socket_path argument where socket_path can be a hostname:port combination of your director doveadm service:
altmove [-u <user>|-A] [-S <socket_path>] [-r] <search query> expunge [-u <user>|-A] [-S <socket_path>] <search query> fetch [-u <user>|-A] [-S <socket_path>] <fields> <search query> force-resync [-u <user>|-A] [-S <socket_path>] <mailbox> import [-u <user>|-A] [-S <socket_path>] <source mail location> <dest parent mailbox> <search query> index [-u <user>|-A] [-S <socket_path>] <mailbox mask> move [-u <user>|-A] [-S <socket_path>] <destination> <search query> purge [-u <user>|-A] [-S <socket_path>] search [-u <user>|-A] [-S <socket_path>] <search query>
The http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Director article explains how to set up a "Doveadm server" on a specific port.
After you have set up your doveadm server correctly, an example command might look like this:
doveadm search -A -S director:24245 mailbox "*" all
but doveadm who seems to be executed just in local:
For "doveadm who" however, you need a local anvil socket, which provides the necessary information:
doveadm who -a /var/run/dovecot/anvil
Remember there is also the proxy list command, since the director is just a proxy with a hash table which always proxies the same username to the same backend:
doveadm proxy list
And another question about this... what is the local config option? I haven't found it documented anywhere.
I assume the local { } section is to restrict the inside options to client IPs located in a specific subnet.
