Is there anyway of replicating between more than one other instance of Dovecot. I have bidirectional replication working successfully and it seems to be reliable. I would like to replicate from one or more of these instances to one other. Is this possible?
I've asked the same question a few months ago and was looking at having multiple mail_replicas or using round robin DNS for the mail_replica.
Here's how I "solved" it:
Server A, B, C
A -> B on A set mail_replica = B Mail arrives at A, syncs to B
B -> C on B set mail_replica = C Mail arrives at B, syncs to C
C -> A on C set mail_replica = A Mail arrives at C, syncs to A
The more you add the higher the delays. Not the best solution but it works.
Timo please add multiple mail_replicas and maybe priorities for high latency links.
