Is there a question in there somewhere?

Sorry about that. I'm trying to understand the syntax of the dsync command. I have two servers with almost identical mail setups using dovecot 2.13.

Here's the source side:

$ doveadm user ken@allenmyland.com userdb: ken@allenmyland.com home : /var/vmail/ken@allenmyland.com uid : 5000 gid : 5000

Here's the destination side:

root@abbott4 ~ # doveadm user ken@allenmyland.com userdb: ken@allenmyland.com home : /zdata/vmail/ken@allenmyland.com uid : 5000 gid : 5000

What is the correct syntax of the dsync command to backup email from the first server to the second?

If I su to vmail then use

$ dsync -u ken@allenmyland.com backup ken@abbott4.allenmyland.com

I get :

dsync-local(ken@allenmyland.com): Error: remote: doveadm(ken): Fatal: User doesn't exist dsync-local(ken@allenmyland.com): Error: read() from worker server failed: EOF

I presume that's because it's doing a user lookup on the remote side for ken instead of using my email address. How do I specify the username for the remote side?

Any help would be appreciated.
