replication and spam removal ("doveadm expunge")

[Olaf Hopp]

Hello everybody,
since now I did no replication and spam is delivered into users folder "spambox"
Every night there is a cronjob which deletes spam older than 30 days via something like
	"find .... -ctime +30 -delete"
Now I'm going to set up replication (two way) and I thought that
doing "rm" is not a good idea.
So I modified the job to something like
	/usr/bin/doveadm expunge  -u test1 mailbox INBOX.spambox  BEFORE  30d
which works like intended, but I see that on the replication
partner the spam isn't deleted. Even if I do a
	doveadm  force-resync  -u test1 '*'
or log in via imap to the replication partner I still see the old spam.

So my question is:
is this the intended behaviour and I have to run the "doveadm expunge" on both replication partners
or should the deletion via "expunge" being replicated to the partner and I have a misconfiguration
or maybe I hit a bug ?

Regards, Olaf

                 mode = 0666
         }
         unix_listener replication-notify {
                 mode = 0666
         }
}
service replicator {
         process_min_avail = 1
         unix_listener replicator-doveadm {
                 mode = 0666
         }
}
service doveadm {
         inet_listener {
                 port = 1109
         }
}
doveadm_password = XXXXX
plugin {
         mail_replica = tcp:X.Y.Z.X:1109
}
