Hi list members,

documentation says "Replication works only between server pairs. If you have a large cluster, you need multiple independently functioning Dovecot backend pairs".

Do I understant correctly, that in order to have replication between 3 servers, one would need to run 2 instances of dovecot on each server with (a bit) different configuration. e.g.

Serv1: -- dovecot-1.conf .. plugin { mail_replica = tcps:Serv2:1234 } .. -- dovecot-2.conf .. plugin { mail_replica = tcps:Serv3:1234 } .. Serv2: -- dovecot-1.conf .. plugin { mail_replica = tcps:Serv1:1234 } .. -- dovecot-2.conf .. plugin { mail_replica = tcps:Serv3:1234 } .. etc.

Won't two processes of dovecot in one machine (assuming local storage) conflict accessing same Maildirs?

Thanks for any insights
