Hello,
I'm running a redundant mailsystem dovecot where i'm using dsync to replicate maildata between both nodes. How do i properly delete mail data from a virtual user when it get's removed from the db on both nodes? For usermanagement i'm using postfixadmin and can run a postdeletion script and can login into both nodes and manually delete the mail data but wonder if there is a better solution.
Thanks, Alex
You can also use doveadm expunge to delete all mail, but manual rm -rf works just as well.

Shared folders go away if the user does not exist.

Will this also take care of any dependencies? For example if one of the folders are shared with other users?
