[Dovecot] Problem with dsync replication : mails are not deleted correctly

[Nicolas ROCHE]

Hello,

I would like to configure a postfix / dovecot cluster based on ssh / dsync replication.

I have two linux serveurs (Oracle RHEL 5 86_64) and I install both sides dovecot (V2.2.2+), postfix (2.10.0) and mysql (Ver 14.12 Distrib 5.0.77).
I configured these servers in order to make them replicate, and I created some virtual users.
I use some java code in order to send mail (with SMTP) and to get mail (with POP3).
When the java code get a mail, it deletes it from mailbox (the flag "DELETED" is set to true).

When I send a mail on server A, I can see the mail replicated on both servers A and B : a file containing the message data exists in /home/vmail/test03/new/ in both sides.
When I get the mail from server A with my java POP3 client, all is OK : the mail is deleted on both servers A and B (no more file in /home/vmail/test03/new/).

The problem is when I send a mail on server A and I get it from server B : I can get the mail, but the mail is not deleted from server B, and neither from server A.
When I try a second time to get the mail on server B, then all becomes OK : the mail is deleted on both server A and B.

I can reproduce the problem every time.

Is it a known bug or not ? If yes, is there a patch ? If no, may the problem come from my config ?

Regards,
Nicolas.
