In your working example you are connecting as root but in your dsync example your user is remoteprefix:root. Try removing the "remoteprefix:" which is being treated as part of the user name.
If I take off the "remoteprefix" it logs in, but it doesn't send the user to the other end, the wrapper script on mail.borg.org gets "VERSION dsync 3 5" as the parameter.

According to the man page, that should be the destination:
ARGUMENTS destination This argument specifies the synchronized destination. It can be one of:
location Same as mail_location setting, e.g. maildir:~/Maildir
remote:login@host Uses dsync_remote_cmd setting to connect to the remote host (usually via ssh)
remoteprefix:login@host This is the same as remote, except "user@domain\n" is sent before dsync protocol starts. This allows imple‐ menting a trusted wrapper script that runs doveadm dsync-server by reading the username from the first line.
tcp:host[:port] Connects to remote doveadm server via TCP. The default port is specified by doveadm_port setting.
tcps:host[:port] This is the same as tcp, but with SSL.
command [arg1 [, arg2, ...]] Runs a local command that connects its standard input & output to a dsync server.
One of the examples on the man page is:
doveadm sync -u username@example.com ssh -i id_dsa.dovecot
mailuser@example.com doveadm dsync-server -u username@example.com
Which I don't understand. What is "mailuser@example.com"? What are the two parameters and the option after that?
Their simpler example:
doveadm sync -u username@example.com remote:server-replica.example.com Makes much more sense, but I can't find anything based on that example works.
Does "doveadm sync" maybe not work in version 2.3.19.1?
root@la:/etc/dovecot# dovecot --version 2.3.19.1 (9b53102964)
Thanks,
-kb, the Kent who would love to see some working "doveadm sync" examples.
