'doveadm replicator remove' only temporary?

[Robert Giles]

Hi folks,

Wondering if this is expected behavior;  we'd like to be able to pause 
replication for a particular account on our 2.2.32 active-active 
cluster, but delivering a message (LMTP) to the account seems to turn 
replication back on again:

(replication on)
server1:~# doveadm replicator status rgiles
username                                priority fast sync full sync 
success sync failed
rgiles                                  none     00:00:30  23:45:01 
00:00:30     -

(remove manually)
server:~# doveadm replicator remove rgiles

(confirm replication is off)
server:~# doveadm replicator remove rgiles
Error: Replicator failed: User not found

(confirm again that replication is still off)
server1:~# doveadm replicator status rgiles
username                                priority fast sync full sync 
success sync failed

(and one more time, still off)
server1:~# doveadm replicator status rgiles
username                                priority fast sync full sync 
success sync failed

(send an e-mail, and voila, replication is running again)
server1:~# doveadm replicator status rgiles
username                                priority fast sync full sync 
success sync failed
rgiles                                  none     00:00:01  00:00:03 
00:00:01     -

I've tried quickly disabling replication on both systems, and they 
inevitably override the 'doveadm replicator remove' command and begin 
dsync'ing again with each other.

Thanks for any ideas out there -

Robert
