Is there no-one out there using replication with virtual users ? If so how did you do it ?
I just *know* someone is going to point me to a simple page describing how to do it ...

Ugh, stuff got mangled in formatting below. Anyway, I've had no luck with various permutations, so it's looking like a virtual-user setup can't make use of replication ?
I guess what I want is for it to activate replication upon ANY notification
of updated emails.

Is it possible to get replication working in a virtual user setup that uses a static userdb ? My environment is fairly simple and typical - there's a single system user (vmail) that owns all the home dirs (/var/mail/domain.com/user). The virtual users ( userid @ domain.com : secretpassword) are kept in a single file (/var/mail/domain.com/PASSWD) that's unique per domain, and referenced as a static userdb : passdb { driver = passwd-file args = scheme=plain username_format=%u /var/mail/%d/PASSWD } userdb { driver = static args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/var/mail/%d/%n } I know the wiki http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Replication [1] states that user listing must be enabled, but that's not available for a static userdb. The wiki http://wiki2.dovecot.org/UserDatabase/Static [2] also says that it shouldn't be a problem because it will use do a passdb lookup instead (except for PAM which isn't used here). Unfortunately, it's not working. I've testing with ssh : dsync_remote_cmd = ssh -l vmail %{host} doveadm dsync-server -u%u -l%{lock_timeout} -n%{namespace} mail_replica = remote:vmail@server2.domain.com [3] as well as with straight tcp (SSL for later) mail_replica = tcp:server2.domain.com:999 /var/log/mail.err shows the problems ...

I'm sure it's something simple that I've just overlooked.
