Re: [Dovecot] Dovecot replication not redirecting if server is down

Hi Patrick

the director does not check backends for availability. If one backend goes up or down, you need to instruct the director to add/remove this backend from its pool.

One possibility is to use Dovecot proxies, which know which servers are down. Instead of directing users to those servers, it would direct them to replica servers.

I know that proxy and director are two different things but I don't know how to configure my servers to get this redirection working.
