Hello,

I just use the cluster/replication functionality integrated into dovecot,
nothing more. There is no database involved. I use LDAP for the
authentication. The mails are stored locally on each server and replicated
with the replication feature of dovecot.

I followed this wiki article: https://wiki.dovecot.org/Replication

Thanks!
