custom ssh port doveadm sync

[dvm at rdyn.net]

Hi, 

Thanks. Like i said i read it all and somehow i have some trouble
interpreting it and that is why i mentioned that i kinly asked for some
help not re-quoting the manual as that didn't lead to a successful
attempt so after reading everything and trying everything out i tried
the mailing-list. 

the page is actually confusing and a kind user (thank you so much)
emailed me and helped me out. (the man page is actually not correct in
my opinion or i totally interpret it wrong :) 

This did work : 

# doveadm sync -u mailboxuser at mydomain.com ssh -p 15223
SSHLOGINUSER at mydomain.com doveadm dsync-server -u
mailboxuser at mydomain.com 

The main difference is the -p parameter (not present in sample and doc
neither is the -i parameter so please next time don't quote blindly) and
that it is the SSHLOGINuser that's important which in the sample is
called mail-user (not the same in my opinion). 
Again i might have read it all wrong but else a small update to the wiki
could be useful ? 
thanks mailing-list and the user that helped me out. 

regards,
