Hi
I've set up replication with the settings below.
With these settings, aggregator runs as user dovecot and replicator as
user root. Are those the recommended settings or should I change them,
in particular for replicator which is running as a privileged user?
service aggregator {
  fifo_listener replication-notify-fifo {
    mode = 0666
    user = vmail
  }
  unix_listener replication-notify {
    mode = 0666
    user = vmail
  }
}
service replicator {
  unix_listener replicator-doveadm {
    mode = 0660
    group = mail
  }
}
service doveadm {
  inet_listener {
    port = 999
    ssl = yes
  }
}
ssl_client_ca_file = /etc/pki/tls/cert.pem
doveadm_password = secret
plugin {
  mail_replica = tcps:hostname.domainname.tld:999
}
thanks
John
