Hi!

Yes, director and replicator are removed, and won't be available for pro users either.

For NFS setups (or similar shared setups), we have documented a way to use Lua to run a director-like setup, see

https://doc.dovecot.org/3.0/configuration_manual/howto/director_with_lua/

It would probably be good to share this link in the aforementioned Director removal thread.

Regards to replication, doveadm sync is not being removed. So you can still run doveadm sync on your system to have a primary / backup setup.

Top posting because nothing specific to reply to, sorry. Not exactly sure, but there’s another thread about the removal of Director in favour of Dovecot Pro on 3.x. Perhaps this change is related.

Hello,

Just like Vladimir, I'm a bit concerned about this change, and I'd really appreciate if someone could let us know if the replication feature (that works so well!) will be replaced or removed; and, in case of removal, what would be recommended replacement? Thanks in advance and best regards, Daniele

Just saw this commit in the official Github repo:

https://github.com/dovecot/core/commit/4c04e4c30fd4817a8b0e11d04d9681173f696...

Looking at the commit details, it appears that it completely removes the replication feature. I'm a bit perplexed by this change and am not sure what might be the justification for it. Personally, I find replication to be very useful, as it allows me to maintain a synchronized mirror of all of my mailboxes on my home server, for use as backup in case the primary server goes down for some reason.

Perhaps there's some sort of replacement being planned for this feature? Or maybe the relevant code is simply going to be refactored to a plugin or external program, and there's nothing to worry about at all?

In any case, I'd greatly appreciate if one of the developers could comment on this change.
