You can get more information here -> http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Replication

On the master configuration file you can set default permissions for listeners, for example:

service aggregator { fifo_listener replication-notify-fifo { user = vmail } unix_listener replication-notify { user = vmail }}

What is the correct perms for /var/run/dovecot/replication-notify-fifo ? Currently: # ll /var/run/dovecot/replication-notify-fifo prw------- 1 root root 0 Aug 14 15:57 /var/run/dovecot/replication-notify-fifo|

Solved with: # chown dovemail:dovemail /var/run/dovecot/replication-notify-fifo dovemail is the user for imap processes.

In my production cluster, it is automatically created by dovecot when the user performs the first login: */var/lib/imap/*<account> for INDEX */var/spool/imap/*<account> for Mdbox

This was fixed with correct permission on /var/run/dovecot/replication-notify-fifo

Thanks!
